So did I! During my sleep study I woke up over 500 times. By the time I conceded to my wife to take the study, I was a zombie. I would fall a sleep right in the middle of a converstaion. Guys, if you think you have sleep apnea, please see you doctor. It is not something to be taken lightly. It will KILL YOU! It killed Reggie White.
That's the one I have Nabo. I'm in my third year with it and I also have a full beard. I love it though.
I have a feeling the younger guys on here don't take it seriously, and that's too bad. It's NOT just an "old people's disease." It's NOT just a "fat people's disease." If you snore, chances are you have it to some extent. And if you have it, you could die; if not from the lack of oxygen, then from the long-term effects of it. The Ventlab? I do like it a lot.
No, the one that just covers the nose. I took to it like a duck to water. I remember when the nurse woke me in the sleep clinic saying she had seen enough and telling me to put the mask on. The instant I put that thing on, I thought, this is NICE! I've slept well ever since. It's time for me to hit the fart sack brother. See you in the a.m.
Yeah, I liked the mask...it's just that with the beard, I had to cinch it so tight to get a seal that I often got deep marks from the forehead guard. Sleep well.
great discussion guys... I don't think I have a problem, i mean I snore, but I don't stop breathing or wake up gasping for air... I expereince that a little when i have a bad chest cold... but it's not permanent. but I know where to come if that develops!
