Sleep apnea. Anyone here?
The wife says I quit breathing whilst asleep. Yes, I snore but give a crap. We all do.

I just noticed this today when I was trying to take a nap. I kept waking up with a snort and out of breath!

I am 51 aged, 5'8", 180 lbs. I try and eat healthy. I don't get enough exercise, I have high bp and am taking cholestoral crap meds, drink too much et. al.

I did a sleep test 10 yrs ago with no bad results. I am thinking with age, things have changed. I seem to be tried all the time. I put it down as age, work etc.

I don't want to do the "C-Pap" machine, or cut out my uvula (not vulva). I was going to look into the mouth piece thingie that holds out your lower jaw?

I will probably do another sleep test, but think this time they will say I have a problem. Again, don't want to be hooked up to a machine at night (C-Pap).

Has anyone been through this and what was the best solution.

After a months use, it is 3 per night. I haven't taken a nap at the office in weeks. I have quite a bit more energy. Not as much as I was hoping for, but better.



I had a nose mask for 3 weeks which was OK, but it is hard to wear glasses to read or watch TV. Last week I upgraded to a DreamWear Nasal mask without the nostril pegs. WOW, it is awesome. The hose placement and nose piece make it very comfortable. If you are a user, make sure you give it a look.

I only wear mine when I'm going to sleep.

I read, but when I'm ready for sleep, I turn over and go to sleep. One of the things I found with my CPAP is that I fall asleep much faster than I used to.

What's read?
Is that another term for masturbate?

I didn't figure, but did see some promotional pics of that thing he mentioned with some dude sitting up in bed reading. I've never done that.

Had the CPAP for years. I took to it right away, and have no issues.

Unless the power goes out in the middle of the night. Then your cool air providing mask turns into the ****ing face-hugger from Alien. Not a pleasant way to wake up. Thankfully our local power lines are underground, so we rarely get outages.

Yeah, it's not "Casual Wear".

Put the mask on, fall asleep.

Wake up, take it off.

Why would anyone wear that damn thing to read or watch tv?

I think you're in the minority there. Lucky for you. It took me a month or two to acclimate. At first, I really struggled to fall asleep with it, and when I did, I'd wake a couple hours later and take it off. Over time, two hours turned into three, three into four, etc., until I sleep through the night. But I certainly didn't take to it right away.

I've got a husband/wife acquaintance, both of whom are CPAP users. The woman uses her's religiously. The man barely uses his. Even after years. Still complains of being tired.

I've battled insomnia and sleep apnea for over 20 years. Sleep specialists will tell you not to read in bed.

I'm looking forward to the Airing CPAP machine coming out. No hose. It's a self contained unit that fits in the nostrils.
