I had the scare of my life. I fell asleep at the wheel of my car and nearly got into an acident. I was snoring out of control my wife threatened to leave our bed or banish me to the couch. I had trouble in the bedroom pleaseing the wife. I use to get these headaches that seemed to strike early in the morning when I first woke up. ONce at work I fell asleep and nearly got fired lucky for me I had a good sales level and the boss liked me that saved me. I remember going in and telling him that I had to go for a sleep study that the doctor suspected I had sleep apnea. He said wow I just thought you were working another place and or you were slow doing the paperwork. Losing sleep hurts all aspects of your life. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and the doctor put me on a cpap machine. What that does is keep my air ways open by sending air down my nose all night long.When I first got it the mask I was using was painful at worst and uncomfortable at best. One thing though boy was I able to sleep I so enjoyed that. I had not gotten a good night sleep in years. My memory returned my energy level sky rocketed and my wife got happy for two reasons one my snoring went away. The other you can figure out on your own.
