Yes mgaggie, you need to sign up to read the article. Do not think there is a way round it.

Good find JDS, lots of food for thought.

Thanks JDS74,
If you are still experiencing daytime sleepiness and you think you have mastered CPAP, this article may be worth the trouble to register at the site to read. While true residual sleepiness is poorly understood and difficult to treat, the article does present some possible other causes of daytime sleepiness that should be ruled out.

a synopsis can be found here:
