My sleep study probably saved my life.

I have snored all my life (even when skinny) and my sleep study registered 94 instances (stopped breathing) per hour, with half of those being central (neurological) events.

This can strain your heart and possibly cause a stroke. There are recent studies showing apnea can damage your brain.

Get the sleep study.

Were you told you had to use a CPAP machine to bed?

Yeah--my sleep study gave up and woke me up after 1.5 hours to put the mask on me.

“My sleep study probably saved my life.”

One hour into my sleep study, the RN woke me and said I had sleep apnea. She put me on a CPAP and I slept for six hours without waking. The best night of sleep I had in several years.

The only problem with using a CPAP or BiPap, is that I can no longer blame sleep apnea for falling asleep in committee meetings.
