    My wife has been noticing this & let me know that I stop breathing for a semi long period of time during my sleep(she said up to 30 secs, but randomly) - it’s like my breathing is very slowed down

    I already can’t sleep without meds & have a machine stuck on my face looking like something from “Aliens” will make it nearly impossible to fall asleep

    Currently, I feel just fine after a nights sleep(with meds - I’m almost at a bar of xAnax + magnesium & melatonin)

    How bad is this, in comparison to other shit I’m already dealing with?

    I’ve read a few posts on here about it, but the search function didn’t turn up anything

    And, reading shit elsewhere online is like asking if aliens are real


    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated
    Dude dont wait, get a sleep study done tomorrow! I went four years without knowing I had SA because i was single and lived alone. My now wife said holy shit you stop breathing a lot. My study came back saying I stop breathing 60 times a minute. Ive had my CPAP machine now for 4-5 years and it changed my life. I had SOOOO many issues from not getting quality sleep, almost lost my job, depression, low T, and I took two naps per day, popping adderall every day, It was a miserable existence.

    That’s the one thing I noticed now after starting the CPAP - I no longer need to nap during the day. At work, I used to find it hard to keep my eyes open at times. Now I get nowhere near as tired, even though I only wear it 2-4 hours a night. Figures, though, because when I recorded myself sleeping, I mostly snored the first couple of hours of the night.

    I have the cpap with me on vacation and the one cool thing is that I can taste every flavor of tap water from the humidifier. South Carolina chlorine, mmm spicy.
