Re: sleep study - to Ruth C.

[Guest guest]

I had that same test a few years ago and it determined I had

Sleep Apnea. It was recommended that I get a C-Pap Machine for

sleeping. I didn't like the idea but when I looked at the tests

(comparing sleep without the machine & with it) there was a

dramatic difference so I decided to try it. At first I

detested the machine and its assembly with tiny " pillows " in my

nose. Often I'd wake up in the middle of the night and angrily

throw the aparatus to the floor and resume sleep without it.

But I found sleep without the machine's left me tied starting

a day and I'd frequently doze off through the day. After getting

used to the C-Pap I now wouldn't be without it. I find I'm more

rested and alert with a complete night's sleep plus it gives my

heart a rest decreasing the chance of a heart attack. I take

it even when I travel overnight. Its ugly looking but it beats

the alternatives.
