Oh they are comfy. I bought one when I had surgery and had to sleep downstairs on the futon (bedroom is upstairs). Futon killed my back, so I picked up the memory foam. It is awesome. I bought one for our camper too.

So maybe weight loss will help with the OSA........what I would like to know is what does he think we should do in the meantime?? Weight loss does not happen quickly...especially if you are too tired to exercise.

I had assumed I had arthritis in my knees but never been officially diagnosed. In my hands also. I used to take my husbands arthritis pills when it really bothered me, but it is gone now.

My sleep study was 87% stage one, 13% stage 2 and no 3 4 or rem. I was wondering the same thing. The lady at the sleep lab told me all the sleep I was getting was basically useless.

You might need to make a run and get a different mask just for this reason. I had to when I had pneumonia. I know better than to sleep without my machine. The night it broke down on me I felt AWFUL the next day. Not bad but awful.
