Wait until Vrai has to sleep next to you with the CPAP machine purring in the background,

:smack: Stop that.

My CPAP is almost totally silent. And when I slip it under the bed, and let the blanket drop, you can't hear it at all.

Sides, if someone can sleep through that snoring racket, they can sleep through anything.


not to mention the creepy headgear thing you'll have to wear. :lol:

That's going to take some getting used to - by everyone involved.

Especially any small children who like to join their parents in the middle of the night.

:baby: :yikes: :bawl:

What kind of a nut job wants to watch people sleep? Some Freddy Krueger wannabe???

Vrai swears I snore. Never heard it myself so, we'll see. Plus I do the classic stop breathing thing for a few seconds that is apnea, or so I read, and then snort back to life again.

I have sleep apnea and knew I had it until I went to the sleep study. The fact is, according to the specialists, if you have the disease you actually stop breathing several times during the night without knowing it. Some of the symptoms that I have are dry, scratchy throat, nodding off at work specially in the PM and just feeling tired and dozing off as soon as my back hits the couch.

The technicians at the sleep center will watch the reading off the electrodes in a separate room, although they do have closed-circuit TV to visually check the patients when something acts up on their monitor. If not obese, and actually does what Vrai said, then you probably have it. Start getting used to sleeping with the mask (CPAP machine) . The good news is, if you really it and is either active duty or retired military, it's an automatic 50 percent disability.

Snoring is the least of it. At least when you're snoring I know you're still alive.

He does this gasping, fighting for air thing. Like he'll snore out, then everything shuts down and his airway closes. I counted him at 22 seconds one time before he started breathing again.
So off he trots to the sleep disorder place to get that crap fixed.

Relocating him works even better. :lol: When my husbands snoring keeps me awake I just stab him with my fingernails and he'll turn on his side which helps. (that doesn't work with people who have sleep apnea though)

...I think I have this and tonight I get to go be a ginea pig.

I show up at 9:30 and they hook me up to a few monitors and then...I go to sleep while some tech keeps and eye on me all night. This is gonna be wierd. "You don't have apnea, Mr. Gude, but we now know why your wrist is always sore and you really need to cut down on the burritos...".

Never bothers me but I do keep having this recurring dream of a pillow and some party or celebration I never seem to be invited to...

Three nose surgeries and a throat surgery later, I still can't sleep. If I have another sleep study or surgery I'm going postal. :banghead:
