Beer and sleep apnea
Re: Beer and sleep apnea
Well I guess I am the only one on this website that isn't perfect in every way except for having sleep apnea.
A bit scared to mention I am overweight as well.

Re: Beer and sleep apnea
CPAP can possibly reduce some of the awakenings due to treating the sleep disordered breathing. CPAP + Beer is better than Beer and no CPAP. But drinking 64 oz + of anything is going to make you wake up all night to piss and 64+ oz of beer plus sleep means you must be waking up wicked dehydrated. Your body is supposed to recover while sleeping, but your body is working all night because of the beer.
I'm not here to tell you to stop drinking beer at night. We don't sugarcoat much here so you are going to get straight forward responses. If you don't like someone you can always mute them by adding them as a foe in your user control panel.

Re: Beer and sleep apnea
No, there’s nobody here who is perfect, but you asked for people’s thoughts on the matter. No judgement intended by me, but it’s simply a fact that drinking that much is not doing your apnea any favors. Anyone who tells you otherwise is also not doing you any favors.
Welcome.

Re: Beer and sleep apnea
I have lost 40 lbs and counting since starting on bipap. I was tired all the time and constantly drinking soda to stay awake.

I guess it all depends on one's priorities in life I suppose.

Except for me being too old, you might be right.

I'm scared to mention SoClean. And I never owned one.

And now let's test the waters with a little passive aggressiveness.
Why did you ask for opinions when you respond poorly to opinions you don't like?

Re: Beer and sleep apnea
on this board, we try to deal in facts when we can. and i think the facts are in on drinking alcohol and trying to sleep.Dog Slobber wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 6:15 pmAnd now let's test the waters with a little passive aggressiveness.

Re: Beer and sleep apnea
Ok so I had 3x22 oz draught beers tonight.
Might need to move to an alcoholism forum according to some angels on here.

probably the easiest way to "foe" someone is to click on their user name in the avatar to the left and follow the instructions.raisedfist wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 5:46 pmCPAP can possibly reduce some of the awakenings due to treating the sleep disordered breathing.

to anyone doing this, be advised. if i "foe" raisedfist, i have the ability to not read his initial post. HOWEVER, if someone quotes raisedfist in their response, i'll see it.
just so everyone knows.

A drinking bear is probably my favorite kind of bear.

Re: Beer and sleep apnea
That (obviously) is between 48 and 144 ounces.
A *gallon* is 128 ounces.
My only comment was that you'll likely be up multiple times peeing, even if your apnea (which tends to cause nighttime peeing) is controlled.
I couldn't care less how much you drink.
