Comments (17)I used to spend my work weeks being sleepy and with inadequate time to sleep. I always looked forward to weekends when I could nap. Over twenty years ago, I went (at my wife's suggestion) to the sleep clinic at the local medical school and went through their tests and exams. Turned out, I had obstructive sleep apnea, immediately treatable (as if switching on a light) with a CPAP machine. I've slept soundly ever since, I can get restful sleep in fewer hours, I wake up feeling good and alert and remain alert all day. I haven't taken a nap since. There's a quote in that linked CNN article from a doctor at Johns Hopkins, who said "make sure sleepiness isn't due to a treatable nighttime sleep disorder." Sleep disorders affect a shockingly high number of people, most of whom are undiagnosed.

Comments (3)If you have ridges you have to sand them down to get rid of them. Are you sure that the guy didn't use a spray texture on the walls prior to painting. It hides many imperfections.

I used an artist brush to knock down overly large goobers that the orange peel spray sometimes left behind. Poor technique can cause dimpling - letting the roller get too dry and being forced to use excessive pressure can cause dimpling. This can also leave ridges. If you share a picture of the textured and non textured surfaces we will be better equipped to help....See MorePawprint
