I have sleep apnea. Since I sound like Darth Vader when I sleep, I make sure to do villainous deeds during my waking hours. I'll probably do some good deed and get killed because of it in the end, though.

This is a pretty glorious post avatar combo. I can even picture Bernie's infomercial for whatever product it was that made him lose 70 lbs, also the before photo is just a picture of Chris Christie.

Some people force this on themselves by being fats but seems like some poor bastards just have a problem.

People shouldn't be fat though. There I have shamed someone and they can go be mad now.

POST YOUR average hourly incidents from your sleep study. I had 55 apnea incidents per hour for the first portion and then they started me on the CPAP machine, though the doctor said the average could have been higher if they'd continued without it.

I have this.
I don't use the machine because I slept worse with it. "You get used to it" gently caress you I do.
I decided to instead to lose weight because sleeping with a jet turbine strapped to my face was the loving braking point.


60lbs less and I sleep much better these days. :unsmith:

Mine has the humidifier and the heated hose. Last night I turned up the heat full blast but te pressure machine was forcing snot back into my nose because it had got me sick the night before. I lasted with it from about 11pm-4am and woke up with the pressure on 10 (it apparently adjusts while you sleep...starts on 4 or 5. It's totally goddamn insane I will tell you how tonight goes goons.
