Did you used to fall asleep on the sofa before Stu? Also, did you have any alcohol on the evenings you fell asleep as that's a big culprit?

'T' Total's a good thing to be with sleep apnoea :) It could just be due to your very busy week, especially whilst you're still in the process of paying back your body all the years of sleep debt it's owed. Also, sometimes we tend to put all our tiredness down to our OSA and forget many other things cause tiredness such as stress, physical exertion and even some foods that we eat. White bread does it to me all the time, unfortunately. See how you go over the weekend.

Enjoy the weekend
