Sleep, Glorious Sleep

I'm an insomniac! Medications don't really help. Even if I sleep, I don't rest, and I wake up exhausted. The reason -- I suffer from sleep apnea. When I was diagnosed at the sleep clinic four years ago, I stopped breathing something like 647 times within a six hour time frame of testing. I was prescribed a CPAP machine. But, to be honest, it is a hassle to "hook-up" every night, and I got out of the habit about three years ago.

If you're unfamiliar with sleep apnea, you can read about it here, although this doesn't tell the whole story. There's more here at Women & Sleep. I don't fall into any of the "typical" categories . . . I'm definitely not an overweight, middle-aged male . . . but, I do know that, after a recent doctor's visit -- at which time he said he wouldn't discuss my insomnia until I spent 30 days back on the CPAP machine, I have used it the last two nights and have awoke more rested than in a long time. It may not be the most attractive sleepwear, but . . . sleep is a most wonderful thing!
