Have you been checked for sleep apnea?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (3 children)

No because I'm not willing to be put on a CPAP device. I suffer from bleeding throat due to an unnaturally dry throat, and I cannot tolerate any air forced down my airway. I probably DO have sleep apnea, but I don't have the usual symptoms of it, I simply usually just feel restless in bed and unable to feel sleepy at all. I go to bed late, you'd think I'd be worn out enough to sleep, but I just lay there. When i do sleep, it's all nightmares and I don't get any rest from that anyway.

You don't always need some device for sleep apnea, if it's not a bad case. But what you're describing doesn't necessarily sound like that anyway.

@tygerprints @MrMamiya @getoffthedrugsdude yeah, you need to just deal with the C-PAP before you die.

They have a new device that you wear on your neck that electronically stimulates you to prevent apnea. Might be worth looking into. I’m not an expert though.
