I've got sleep apnea and it sucks. I "wake up" more tired then when I went to bed. Probably the worst part is waking up in the middle of the night gasping for breath with your heart trying to pound it's way out of your chest.

Once that happens you're up for a while with nothing to do but come here while all you guys are still slepping.


HEY!!!! WAKE UP !!! :jester:
 
But I don's wanna go to school....
 
Billy -

You need to "fix" that. Hope you've done a sleep study and are addressing it.
 
My Dad and one of my brothers has sleep apnea.

They both did a sleep study and now use equipment to help them sleep. It has made a great difference in both their lives, especially to their health.
 
+1 sounds like a friend of mine.
 
Have a friend who has it,
He was pilot for Delta Airlines.
Was forced him into retirement.

Just what I wanted, a pilot with
sleep apthnea.
 
Sister has it and a machine she travels witrh

I have a form of apnea - not full-blown, but it does wake me up. Got the machine (CPAP) and really didn't like it.

I heard about a dental appliance that works for some; luckily it does for me. In effect, it pulls your lower jaw forward to clear the air passage. No mask to wear, but I do use the CPAP from time to time.

Go get checked out.

Beats the alternative.

Be careful using a device that throws your jaw into an unnatural, anterior (forward) position for extended lengths of time. You can displace your condylar discs and create more problems than you may want to deal with. That said, send me a copy of your dental insurance card so I can file an insurance claim. :jester:

(the jester icon is for the insurance claim, the jaw repositioning problem is real)
 
I've been using one of those things but I did it wrong and it doesn't pull my jaw forward.
