suggest a sleep disorder.

Perhaps the old "falling asleep at a traffic light" question should be replaced on the scale questionnaire?

On a related note, When lawyers dream overnight about clients, are they supposed to bill for that time?

(Asking for an enemy.)

Other than that, I do try my best to stay completely neutral in all free-sleep issues.

Donald who? Never heard of the guy. Everyone but the judge and the jury and the journalists (and maybe security, I guess) has the right to sleep in court any time he or she wants to. And I believe the politically correct term for it is "resting my eyes." Much of courtroom procedure ranks right up th...

what is an auto cpap? A CPAP that senses how you breathe and provides the possibility of its adjusting the pressure it creates to match your needs moment to moment. Isn't 5 kind of low? Some find 5 a very effective and comfortable pressure for starting out the night. Others feel they need a minimum...

If I tried to have potato chips for breakfast and my PCP found out about it, I'm pretty sure she'd show up at my door with a SWAT team before I was finished chewing the first one.

Everything is easier when you live inside a computer simulation.

Maybe this mechanism would be more the relevant one for the OP, but it's far beyond my depth. Excess stress sets off your fight-or-flight response: Your adrenals secrete catecholamines, hormones (including epinephrine and norepinephrine) that raise your blood sugar so your muscles have the required ...

Maybe not exactly how I would have worded things because of the relative rarity and variety of "causes"--and yet, counter-intuitively, for some, because of a sort of resultant reactionary timing dysfunction . . . Researchers have not yet fully identified the specific causes of reactive hypoglycemia....

I was prescribed bilevel and used autobilevel for years. But once ResMed perfected their EPR, I switched to APAP with EPR. Why? Partly for cost reasons, partly in reaction to weight loss, and partly because I like that EPR suspends when no flow is detected and because I really like the reasoning beh...

I won't/don't watch. Sorry. Once a sleep doc writes the Rx, he or she has basically done his or her job in the U.S. He or she has likely never used PAP personally and so has little to no idea what it is like or about in practice. The techs are for testing, not for treating. Unfortunately, the averag...

My personal take. I am not a medical professional. doctor has recommended . . . exercise It is true that many find intense physical exercise early in the day can do wonders for overnight sleep and overall health and feelings of well-being. severe exhaustion. This can have many causes beyond how you ...

y'all have a *history*. Nope. He made his own history in how he treated people, all on his own--as the links in this forum clearly show. modem-wary? Not I. The C2C was dependable, cheap, and available. I love the automatic nature and convenience of MyAir, when I use a machine with a modem . Natural...

Care to explain? History. Attitude. Attacks. Inaccuracies. Misleading info. Motives.

I don't watch his videos. On principle.

So I'm not aware what he's lost or what he's on.

When you've lived in Brooklyn as long I did, anything above mid-Bronx is "Upstate." But I was going for the predicate adjective "upstate" as a direction, as in "further up the state." Now I go to Nyack much more often than I do DUMBO. Although at the moment I'm in WV, disguised as a non-Yankee for s...
