First, I volunteered Terry for help with the Apnea as he has posted that he has helped 50+ chippers with their Sleep Apnea problems. In addition to being a good guy his expertise goes back to 1982 in this field.

I just woke up from my first night on an APAP machine. I only woke up 3 times from 9PM-9AM as opposed to about every 1/2 hour before. I am dancing!!! I am not ready to run any foot races but I woke up this morning feeling like I had got some good sleep. This opposed to waking up exhausted and feeling likes s***. It's been along time since that has happened. I know it will only get better but to see that much improvement in just one night is incredible.

Here is a link to one apnea site that mentions "drowsy driver syndrome." Law enforcement is now beginning to attribute many auto accidents to falling asleep while driving. This is one complication I had later on as my symptoms got worse. I had three episodes of waking up with oncoming traffic coming at me.

There are tons of websites devoted to sleep apnea. Search some out and do some reading and learn if you have this.

The test for it is a bit cumbersome with all the wires to monitor your body functions but most have no problem with it.

If you even remotely think you have this, find out, it will save your life. Untreated sleep apnea causes so many complications it will cut many years off your life.

Good Luck and Don't Wait!!
