Sleep Study

[rockybear02]

Well my sleep study is over - wow was that a long nite. And according to the tech - I have sleep apnea. Jeeze that mask was really uncomfortable - but it couldn't have that bad - I was asleep in like 10 minutes. And I thought I only had a breathing problem on my back - but he says it only is slightly worse on my back. Hmmn I can't wait to see

Ahh well thanks Jeff! Well I wasn't suppose to even try the machine this time per the doc... But when my O2 levels feel so much he tried it - and I sleep wonderfully during that time. I am still surprised that it was only slightly worse on my back. Carm tells me I can go 20 seconds without breathing every few breaths on my back. So I try not to do that...

And thanks for the pointers...hmmmn I guess no more in the middle of the night play....

You guys BOTH have them?

I got a CPAP. While I was initially skeptical of the praise everyone heaped on it, it won me over.

Everyone behaved as if I would awake from the first night feeling 10 years younger. But, what I immediately noticed is that I slept through the night. I didn't wake up a bunch.

And that uninterrupted sleep began to cumulatively make me feel much more rested.

Hey thanks! Actually I had heard the same thing - and here I am today - feeling fine - but not really any different...

I guess that is good? I think...

So then in a few days I might actually notice a difference? That would be nice - I guess I can't complain - it is 1:30 and I think I only yawned once today...

btw - that icon is adorable...
