I witnessed a bad collision between a dirt bike and a flatbed truck at the intersection of Fort Point & Osborne in East Norwalk about an hour ago. I was driving directly behind two dirt bike drivers and saw the whole thing happen. It was very jarring and I feel horrible for the driver of the dirt bike and the driver of the truck. I immediately called 911 and left my name with the dispatcher. Has anyone heard how the dirt bike driver is? Praying that he's alive.

I run operations for a small business rolling out a fleet of devices with cellular card-payment terminals — about 150 units going live now, scaling to several hundred across sites in multiple states. Each terminal needs its own cellular connection.

Here's where I'm stuck: I went into an AT&T store to get SIMs and they set me up on standard/consumer business wireless SIMs — basically the same product you'd put in a phone. I've since figured out that what I actually need is IoT/M2M SIMs on something like AT&T Control Center, so I can:

• See every SIM's status and data usage in one dashboard
• Remotely reset a stuck terminal's connection instead of dispatching someone
• Run a data-only / pooled plan priced for machines instead of overpaying per line
• Control the APN (and possibly static IP) for the payment devices

The problem is I cannot find the right human at AT&T to make this happen. Retail says they can't do IoT. The business wireless reps can't even see IoT lines, let alone provision them. The general business line bounces me around, and the IoT sales number I found just dumps me to a voicemail or a "fill out this form and we'll call you" page. Nobody I reach seems to own this.

So, questions for anyone who's been through it:

• Is there an actual direct line or rep channel to AT&T's IoT/Control Center team? How did you get a real person who could set up the account?
• Any gotchas migrating from standard wireless SIMs to IoT SIMs — can you convert lines, or do you have to re-provision fresh SIMs and swap them in the field?

Appreciate any pointers!

Trying to figure out my next step and would appreciate input from people who've been through this. Background: Mid-30s. I've had heavy daytime sleepiness for years. Epworth score is 18.

Two WatchPAT (home) studies, ~4 years apart:

• 2022: RDI 8.5, AHI 0.5, O2 nadir 92%, 0 min below 88%. Sleep architecture normal (deep ~18%, REM ~28%).
• 2026: RDI 9.3, AHI 4.9, O2 nadir 89%, 0 min below 88%. Sleep architecture again normal (deep ~20%, REM ~26%). Snoring went up vs. 2022.

So both tests land at "mild," with the AHI rising from basically zero to right at the threshold. Oxygen has stayed well-preserved both times, and notably my deep/REM sleep looks textbook-normal on both.

Symptoms: Near-certain to fall asleep if I read or watch TV in the evening, or as a passenger in a car. A hard, almost unavoidable crash after lunch (independent of what I eat).

My questions:

For those with mild AHI/RDI but normal sleep architecture and preserved oxygen: did treating the apnea (CPAP or oral appliance) actually move your daytime sleepiness? I'm trying to gauge how much of this the apnea can realistically explain.

Given the symptom picture (refreshing dream-naps, hard circadian crashes, Epworth 18), did anyone in a similar spot end up needing an in-lab PSG + MSLT to find something the home tests missed?

My read is that a WatchPAT can't see narcolepsy / idiopathic hypersomnia / limb movements, and I'm weighing whether to push for the lab study before committing to CPAP.

If you did try CPAP for mild OSA... worth it, or not?

Thanks in advance.
