About the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, at my worst I scored a 3 on every question except on sleeping stopped in traffic and while talking to someone. Those I rated 2 - and now a 1. But the others are still a 3. In one of my sleep studies I was asleep in 2 minutes, in another 3.5 minutes.
Sure wish my OSA had been diagnosed years earlier before I deteriorated so much.

I have no doubt, how I sleep affects every waking moment.
I am making progress-NOW I remember that I can't remember
If this isn’t rocket science why are there so many spaceshots?
