Thank you for starting this topic.
I does look like people are not paying that much attention to other peoples problems unless they bump into it… wish everyone good health and more smiles!

I sort of feel like sleep apnea is the new ADD. It seems like EVERYONE I know has been diangosed with it and is getting those handy dandy little CPAP machines. I probably would be told I need one…I understand from my laundry list of people who have slept next to me that I snore like a beast. Everyone from my dad to my cousin tells me they can’t even tell when it’s on (find that VERY hard to believe) and that they sleep 1000 times better with it. Good luck with it, man.

Oh my god, I have had the same thing also since high school! But since I cannot make it happen on demand, doctors have not been able to diagnose me! Is it like your heart for no reason starts beating ultra fast but “shallow”? I have also discovered that holding my breath and pushing (like you are trying to take a dump) works best to kick it back to normal.

I can’t imagine trying to use one of those things–though my neighbor swears by his. Good luck.

@Al Bundy: Two word really stuck out to me in your comment, “better rested”, my dream. No seriously, I do a lot of traveling for work, so that is definitely something I will have to consider when getting a machine. Will it fit in my suitcase? Thanks for the luck…

@New-Dad-Blog: The dog! Too funny! I’m not worried about looking like a fighter pilot, but what if my wife’s hair gets wrapped up in that thing? Or I wake up and run to the alarm clock without taking the CPAP mask off? Those are the things that keep running through my mind… Thanks for sharing your experiences!

@Momo: If it works, I’ll let you borrow it sometime.

@Honeybell: I know a few people that are supposed to use them that don’t (Chuck are you reading?). I can usually fall asleep under just about any conditions, so hopefully my adjustment period will be short lived.

You’ll have to yell real loud…I’ll be surrounded by buzzing machines. OK, so if I have to pick….Go Steelers! Tell Amy to wipe that smile off her face…and to drink one for me this weekend.
