Over the nine months of data collection, a total 595 individuals took the survey. Of these, 55.9% scored positive on the overall Berlin survey, and 78.3% were positive on objective (BMI, hypertension) section. We have no way to determine the non-completion rate of the study. We did not collect data on participants' age. The type and treatment of variable in our data set as well as descriptive statistics can be found in Table 1. | Over the nine months of data collection, a total 595 individuals took the survey.

More than two-thirds of the respondents were obese; 69.6% had a BMI > 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, and 47.6% had a BMI > 33 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. 35.6% of CMVDs surveyed had a BMI > 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. Figure 1 presents a frequency histogram of BMIs of the respondents. Obesity correlated with snoring loudness (the louder the snoring, the greater likelihood of obesity) (p<0.05) and with hypertension (p<0.05). More than a third (39.5%) of participants reported hypertension, which correlated with feeling tired/fatigued after sleep (p<0.05) | More than two-thirds of the respondents were obese; 69.6% had a BMI > 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, and 47.6% had a BMI > 33 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. 35.6% of CMVDs surveyed had a BMI > 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>.
