And soon, I'll be able to sound like Darth Vader when I say that, thanks to my new CPAP machine. Well, at least the heavy breathing part of it. I'll have to work on dropping my vioce a few octives.
Thanks right folks - I have sleep apnea! I get to sleep with a big mask strapped to my face with hoses connected to an air compressor. Apparently normal people who don't have sleep apnea wake up maybe 5 or so times a hour due to breathing issues. I wake up an average of 37.7 times. Egads. Just thinking about that makes me tired. This certainly explains why I'm so exhausted all the time.
So... I should hear from the durable medical equipment company within the next 2 weeks to go get fitted for my machine. I hope it helps. I'm really not looking forward to sleeping with something strapped to my head. I'm trying to ignore the flashbacks to Alien that I keep having.
My mom uses a CPAP and so does my aunt. After the getting used to it part, they both like the feeling more rested results! Hope it works out for you.
I was reading your livejournal. My roomate uses a cpap machine I think. He is tsgeisel on there. He might be able to answer any questions you might have. :)
