i wish i got better sleep

Oct 22, 2008 12:52

So apparently, I have a moderate case of sleep apnea, which I recently learned could be dangerous to my health. This is probably also why I sometimes get terrible sleep which starts a cycle of fatigue and worse sleep for long periods of time and depression, etc (story of my life during high school). Not a whole lot in terms of treatment out there ( Read more... )

I think I have it too- inherited from my mother. It explains why sometimes I'm dreaming and all a sudden I wake up gasping for air. Apparently it's cuz I decided to stop breathing...

I think there's actually a surgery that removes something or other that causes it.

apparently learning to play the didgeridoo helps...

at the very least you're sleeping on your back or your side. I sleep on my stomach and it's really bad for my back and neck. I can't imagine trying to sleep on my stomach with a mask that forces air into my lungs though, that'd be weird.

i got a friend who wears that mask for sleeping, he wasnt a fan at first but he's used to it now.
as for solutions, the usual stuff you hear/read: no caffeine past noon, make sure youre doing a monotonous activity (like reading) before sleeping so that your brain doesnt do too much work and wakes up.
i found that warm milk helps too. at least.....as a kid it did.

what kind of car are you getting? ..then again, you are Chris Chen so its probably a civic, but i thought id ask just incase of any change.

nice purchase! i actually did a full breakdown presentation on dyson's marketing via ppt for oral-b back in the slave-ing nyc days. they have great visualizations of their cleaning demos and features. great job, you have just purchased the mercedes of vacuum cleaners :)

and seriously if you didn't take so many drugs legal/illegal i bet you're sleeping habits will regular-ize.
