I got it + a good nest egg. So why don’t women still find me attractive? Used to be the best-lookin’ guy in the room.

Reggie White was a football player at the University of Tennessee and then in the NFL. He died of sleep apnea. More information about the foundation to fight sleep apnea:

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2000. There isn’t the slightest question in my mind that I’d have been in my grave for a long time now if it hadn’t been diagnosed.

They put me on a CPAP. It was mildly annoying to get used to the first couple weeks. But it quickly grew to the point I couldn’t sleep without it. Because, literally, I could not sleep (in any meaningful sense of the word) without it.

My oldest brother was also diagnosed. He refused to use the CPAP they gave him. As a result (I believe), he developed Alzheimers. He is now basically a vegetable.

If you are excessively tired during the day, regularly doze off while driving, have gastric reflux, snore loudly, and/or just have a large neck, you should get checked for this condition.

And what death is better than sudden death, especially in one’s sleep?
A convincing argument to quit using my CPAP, in this collapsing world.

Nope. Can’t take any enemies with me that way.

I have complex sleep apnea which is a combination of obstructive and central (neurological) sleep apneas and have been using a BIPAP machine for 5 years, which is more like a respirator than a regular CPAP.
My initial sleep test indicated I stopped breathing 57 times in one hour - that number is currently down to 3 or 4. I get a solid 8 hours a night and it feels great. Loud snorers should get evaluated by a clinic.

When I was first diagnosed with sleep apnea and got my first machine 15 years ago,we went to Kansas City for a baseball tournament. I figured I didn’t need to haul it with me for the weekend.

On the drive back, I almost fell asleep a 1/2 dozen times. I don’t go anywhere without it now.

I'm astounded how quickly sleep apnea became a serious problem in our society.

I'm 70, don't have it but what causes it?

I do know several men my own age who have it and younger men too.

What was its genesis?

Another good reason not to get the jab, if you have sleep apnea.

Dr. Soose agreed:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Apnea’s bad.
It ruins your sleep.
With a CPAP device,
your sleep can be deep.
