+1000 Maddie...though you know there never really was much of a contest. He's doesn't create much of a challenge except maybe in biting our tongues or fingers (mine are friggin bloody pulps at the moment). You had him beat from right out of the gate.

Awwww...thank you.

Maddie, you have far more integrity and credibility than the alphabet boy (I picture him as Mr Magoo). He feels he must answer every post in every thread even though he knows very little about the subject. I hope new members read the comments that many of us have at in our signature.

Perhaps. But I've got more integrity and class in my pinky than you will ever have. People here will accept my admitted mistakes over your occasional correctness in a heartbeat. Nobody here respects you or take you seriously. You've been proven wrong numerous times, but you're too arrogant and obnoxious to ever admit it. Nobody ever respects somebody that behaves that way.

So go ahead and say whatever you want about me. People see the truth and that's all that matters to me. And on that one, I win, and you lose.

Madalot, agree with you 100%. Being able to graciously admit a mistake--which you did--indicates integrity and class, and some people just don't seem to have that. And since EVERYONE makes mistakes, it is so much better to be able to respond as you did.

As for the original question, it's been a long time since I was employed by someone. But when I was, I would have never told anyone I had been diagnosed with sleep apnea unless my work was suffering to the point my boss was starting to notice. And then I would make sure that he or she knew the situation and that my doctor with working with me on treatment. I've owned a small business for over 20 years and was diagnosed with OSA and UARS about 10-1/2 years ago. So I've been blessed to be able to take all the accommodations I need.

Unfortunately, this has more truth to it than most of us would like to believe.

Probably the best post on this subject. I think you hit the nail on the head. The OP doesn't need to tell his boss unless it gets to the point where his work is suffering and then do exactly as you suggest.

That's what I did. I acknowledged that I hadnt been at my best. That some days im at 75% but some I'm at 50%. There are still occasional comments like "well why dont you just drink more coffee, thats what I do when I get tired" but the fact that I'm working to treat it has helped. I have to admit I have seen a slight drop in confidence though. I'm used to being the go to guy and it's been a little hard for me to see that going away a little but I don't think I could really ask for much more. My superiors are somewhat understanding. I guess it becomes a little more obvious when you fall asleep on the table in the lunch room
