Don't worry about it, Violet.
Voting brings a poll up to the current page.
We encourage new people to read here; and there is a LOT to read.
The polls here do not inform so much as offer a chance for discussion.
This one has an particularly interesting topic.

Not sure about other UK members here and have to admit would be interesting to know!

More accurate for myself is I had been going to the Drs concerned about lack of sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness. I advised sometimes would be in bed almost 12 hours at weekends and still feel like had no sleep at all.

It was after about the 4th Dr I saw who had been away at a medical conference and had been discussing sleep apnea that he decided to send me for a study. He said before then he hand't really heard about it and said a lot of other Drs would have been the same.
