That used to be my usual routine.......but I had to start going to bed earlier to get a couple more interupted hours of sleep......old age is catching up to me fast.

I wake up 3 to 4 times a night. Sometimes I wake up and my chest hurts. Guess it's from trying to breath and not being able to get air. Got to get a sleep study scheduled.

I fell out of bed twice last night, tried to sleep on the couch - that didnt work. I finally fell asleep in the recliner. Until I had a coughing fit or 2. I swear, I am getting soooo tired of this. (No pun intended). I just want to sleep!!

...CPAP gave me back my life. I was dying, way ahead of schedule, without it. I feel the best I have ever felt in my life.

I know what you mean. I try to at least get in bed by 10. Last night I didn't make it home in time for that

I am glad some people understand. My boss is great. Being sleep deprived is so debilitating...I went home early Tues. and slept all damn day long and then all night too. I finally am starting to feel normal today. Until the next time. I am afraid of taking sleep aids, since I stop breathing during the night....I have also been fighting a chest cold for over a month. Yes, I am a smoker. I have tried all kinds of stuff for the cold, nothing seems to help. I am sooo tired of just not feeling good.

Good Luck!! I am so jealous!!
It is really hard to be nice, and to be in a good mood when you feel like crap all the time. Kudos to all sleep deprived people out there who can maintain!!!

Tell him not to be intimidated by all the #### they hook to you.. It's like being in an ICU as far as that goes....

He has already been counseled about all that. He'll be fine.

That was hilarious, and from what I heard true...

My sleep test with CPAP connected didn't work out well. We terminated it at about 3 a.m. because sleep just wasn't happening. I don't know if it was the mask on my face or stuff on my mind. I don't know if I'm going back.

Based on everything I have heard, you should. At least consider it, I think in the long run it would be worth it. I am looking forward to a good nights sleep like a fat kid looks forward to an easter basket!

Ask your doctor about an oral fixture. It is the same thing as a retainer. I also had the CPAP titration test completed. It was a nightmare. I did not like the mask and felt like I was suffocating. I'm on a waiting list to get an appointment with a local doctor. Hopefully, it works. If not, well I guess I'll deal with waking up every 2 to 3 hours a night.
