Re: Beer and Sleep

Now I have another reason to step up my homebrew!

Lets see, 80 shilling Scottish ale helps you sleep, while a blonde ale can keep you up half the night.......

Time to clean out the mash tun, where did I put my hops?
Anyone see my yeast....

Re: Company Trips with Mandatory Roomate

At my company HR won't even let us know if a co worker is in the hospital so we can send a get well card.
Birth announcements are also a no-no.
I understand and approve of what HIPPA is supposed to do, but if your workplace is supposed to be a second family, HIPPA sure makes it so impersonal.......

Medical Privacy Laws

With the new medical privacy laws, they can not divulge that you have OSA, or use a CPAP. HIPPA laws have very severe penalties for companies that do not comply. I'm sure that HR will INSIST that you be given a single.

Nope, no rumbles.
I love this machine for travel.

I'm starting my 3rd week in Bangkok, and it's great when the power goes out almost every night.......

No Problems!

Your CPAP should work on voltages from 110 to 240. All you need id a plug adaptor.

I travel to Europe a couple of times a year, and Kensington makes a great multi adaptor.

Have a great trip!

TSA with "Attitude"

I fly every week, but this is the first time I have had a TSA agent make a fuss about using new gloves before handling my cpap. They also unwound my mask and hose, then placed my mask on the bare counter, and who knows what was on there before. Also, when the agent unwound the hose and mask she made...

Greetings, I am also part of the road warrior trial. I fly weekly and had over 125,000 miles in 2007. (Northwest sends me a Xmass card.) Never used the product before. I like the "clear" and it does indeed help adjust to a hotel room. I close my eyes and it seems more like home. Now, what could be b...

Single room when traveling

What about HIPPA?
Don't I have a privacy right about my use of a cpap?
Can't expect privacy if I am forced to share a room?

I give my son 1/2 a 25mg trazodone tablet every night. He is 6, has ADHD, and may have a light form of autism. ( He is Ritilin's posted child!) W/O the trazodone he would sleep only about 3 hrs per night. With this drug he sleeps 7 to 8, and I have seen no problems in the daytime. His doc says this ...
