[QUOTE="deerwhacker444, post: 2910992, member: 9117"] Snored, talked in sleep, tired all the time even after getting what I thought was a full nights sleep. Was taking OTC sleep aids, still tired. Taking lots of coffee and 5 hr energy to make it thru work. Fall asleep multiple times sitting in a chair watching TV. Hard to stay awake in a deer stand. I was physically and mentally worn down. Couldn't concentrate, thought I was losing my marbles. I had probably been getting bad sleep for many years and it just all finally caught up with me at one point. Asked the Dr. about getting a sleep study done, he concurred and wrote the prescription, and the rest is history. I failed the first sleep study, couldn't get to sleep with all the wires, had to come back and take it a second time with a prescription sleep aid, so bear that in mind. I averaged 150 apneas/hr. and at one point my O2 level dropped down to 55%. That's when they stopped my test and put me on the machine. I was at dangerous levels. Apnea can cause a wide range of problems with heart attacks, stroke, etc. It's nothing to be taken lightly. [/QUOTE]
