I'm 8 seconds off Type 2. So I'm between IH and T2.

Recently things have gotten worse as I'm sleeping multiple times a day, but I'm hugely stressed and the beer has been a complete go-to for me recently.

And yes, the problem with any sleep test is that it's in that situation of being in a test. My CPAP is horrible, as much as I've tried. They encourage using it like it's some kind of magic for everybody, but it's not, But that just screws with the test and they eventually say "See, you need this."

The MSLT is about measuring how fast you come in and out of the need for sleep. If you dream often, it means you're deprived of meaningful sleep. That's pretty much what you'll get out of it.

Further than that, you're in my territory where you need to test on your own what works best for you, regardless of what each does. Keep your CPAP as things change. Also focus on your overall health and make it a priority. It's a lifelong deal as this stems from a physiology problem as you get older.

Cheers man.
