It sucks when you can't seem to get a good nights sleep and wake up exhausted.I went to the Dr. about this pain in the ass problem and was refered to do a sleep study.One thing that i knew going into the sleep study is that I tend to snore very very loud.Hell I haven't slept in the same room with my wife in about a year due to this fact.But the sleep study also turned up another problem that I wasn't aware of, I have sleep apena.
I never knew that as I started snoring that at times I would stop breathing and wake up gasping for air.All I knew at the time that whenever it came time to get up and goto work or getting up on the weekend I always felt tired.I didn't even know I was waking up because of the sleep apena.When I did my second sleep study last week to find the pressure for the c-pap machine that I have to rent now, I actually felt a little better.
The only problem I had was the mask they put on over my nose.It would keep coming loose and my damn nose was always itching, ugh....that drove me nuts.But despite all that I wasn't no where near exhausted as usually am.The tech that handled my sleep study was very polite and well mannered, to tell the truth I don't think they pay him or any of his coworkers enough for what they do.Can you imagine having to watch a moniter while someone sleeps.I would be bored out of my mind after the first five minutes.
So be thankful if you can sleep all night long and wake up refreshed, because those of us that can't would proably do just about any thing just for one nights worth of sleep.To tell the truth I wish the Ambien pills the Dr. prescribed me actually worked for me.But they don't............................God I desperately need some decent sleep for once.
gop out........................................
