Having one done was one of the best things I could have done for myself. How about this ladies.............I dont use mine no more because I dont need it ! When you wake up exhausted every day, and struggle staying awake somthing needs to happen. Its so dangerous. People can die from this. I never could remember any dreams I had. I never got into that stage of sleep i needed to. I took mine camping, to the hotels we stayed out etc..... I took mine to the hosptial and they put it under the bed when they wheeled me into surgery. My surgeon wouldnt let me have the surgery unless I brought mine with me. Did I like it ? NO ! Im clostrobhopic to a extent. Do they look funny ......yes............. Do they save lives.......... Oh yes they do ! My hubby was diagnosed after I met him because I could hear the man did not breathe while he slept. He snored so loud then .........silence. When he had his first night done...........he come out and said......... I feel better than I have in 20 years. Im acutally awake! The big bags under his eyes went away fast and he looked so much younger. he was very skeptial about this. And the night come to have it done he begged not to do it. I made him.

If its been suggested or.....you feel you may have it........do it.

Did you have a sleep study before, and that is why they sent you the correspondence?

I just want to get on the road to being an official 'loser.'
That sleep study was so annoying. I couldn't get comfortable in that stupid hospital bed. I think personally, they should use real mattresses. I think I would have fallen asleep faster and stayed asleep all night.

Ugghhhhh I came home at 6:30 this morning and went back to bed until 11.

HI DOLORES,
NO I NEVER HAD A SLEEP STUDY BEFORE BUT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A VERY LIGHT SLEEP AND LATELY I WAKE UP SVERAL TIMES DURING THE NIGHT BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS DUE TO THE LOSE OF MY FATHER

I have had my CPAP machine for over two years and would not even consider going to sleep without it. I used it during my recovery from surgery and was able to sleep very well in the hospital. The quality of life with the breathing machine is MUCH better -- I do hope to improve as I lose weight, but it is nice to know that I have my machine in the meantime.
