Have a sleep study done, houston! You may have sleep apnea, which is terrible for your heart, among other things. If you have sleep apnea, your insurance may cover a CPAP machine.

What Miss Bratperson said! Seriously if you think you have a problem you do need to get the study done. If you have insurance it should cover all of it but about $1,000
As she said if you don't treat it you can end up dying from sleep apnea damaging your heart. There is a famous athlete whose name I can't remember but you would recognize who had sleep apnea and was supposed to use his CPAP machine but because he was such a ladies man bedding a lot of women he didn't use it much if any. He died of a heart attack they attribute to him not using it.
The fancy machine I have retails for around $900 or so but I found them on the internet for around $500-$600 I think. The ramp model has to be programmed from a Dr.'s instructions though as to the range and the regular ones also have to have their constant pressure set by a Dr. based on your sleep study.
I saw one place advertising a new type sleep study now that does not require you to spend the night at a sleep center but they send you home with all of the machinary, wires, hookups, etc and you sleep in your own bed.

In the seven years or so I have been on AFF I bet you can find all kinds of interesting threads and posts I have made just as you can with other frequent posters.
I have no regrets, guilt, or shame over anything I have posted. I have never posted a lie that I am aware of. My conscience is clear and I sleep like a baby at night (other than having a cotton pickin' CPAP mask on that is like sleeping with a vacuum cleaner hose on your face and of course the three or four trips to the bathroom during the night).

I would just pretend I was fighter pilot wearing a flight mask and humming Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins.
Unfortunately I can sympathies with the having to use the bathroom 3 or 4 times. THAT wakes me up more than anything.

You mean the method so often used on Baywatch after being dragged from the surf by a beautiful life guard who ran to your aid in slow motion?
