Daniel's new little friend. Tuesday night he went in for an overnight sleep study to see if he had sleep apnea. He does. It was bad enough that halfway through the night they hooked him up and he slept really well. We got a taste of the energy and good mood it will give him. Hopefully in the next two weeks we get the home machine and everything taken care of. I'll let you all (all 3 of you ;) ) know how it goes once we get it.
If any of you suspect your spouse other of sleep apnea - GET THEM TESTED! It can cause horrible problems with your mental health, heart health and many other things. A quite machine it at night is worth better health!
Craig's stepdad has that. They got him that machine and he is doing so much better. It used to be anytime he sat down anywhere (even in the car!) he would fall asleep. Now he makes it through the day. It's awesome.
ReplyDeleteSounds fun... I did an overnight sleep study in December to try and figure out my insomnia and I definitely didn't have sleep apnea. But my dad and one of my brothers have CPAP machines. Other than the claustrophobia issues they had with it on their faces the first few weeks, it's helped them a lot. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteDid you know I work at a sleep lab? Our patients are always saying how well they slept in the hospital with the CPAP on and that they can't wait to get theirs at home. Hope he starts feeling better soon :)
