Last time it was checked it was 0.9... I'll take that.

We gotta start somewhere. Just ignore avi123. He has found something that justifies in his mind that it is okay to ignore his AHI (which he can't get below 5). He chooses to take a quite literal approach and believe one specific comment or thought as the gospel to cover all situations. Just as it is his right to go with that approach, it is our right to go with the other approach.

AHI is not the total end all to guarantee feeling good (too many other possible factors) but it is a starting point. We gotta start somewhere.
What Pugsy said, Avi is just trying to justify his +5 ahi...........ignore him.

Mine is consistantly below 1 and I sleep 8 to 9 hours a night.


Pugsy is a curse of this board. And you seems to be on the way.
Avi....I can curse in three languages...........so far I have not cursed at all, and I do tend to speak the truth.
Cheers and HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU
Nan
I don't partricipate in Halloween since I am Jewish (born in Israel). We have our Purim holidy. I also don't participate in Christmas but celbrate Chunukah which has/had meaning for me and for Jesus too (I think).

Hi Avi... I'm Jewish also. Lots of us on this forum are.

However, that doesn't give me the right to discredit the opinions of many good folks here. The way you think may be right for you... but, it isn't right for all of us. There are several people here who know more than most doctors, and that includes sleep "specialists". I've learned more here than from my sleep doctor (who I really like) and my DME. Take a chill pill and relax. Take what you want here and leave the rest. I'm sure you've learned things or at least found several interesting threads, or you wouldn't still be here. There is a way to say things that won't upset people. You don't have to agree with them... they don't have to agree with you - but being civil applies in any case.

Thanks ems. Your saying that "Take what you want here and leave the rest" , shows that you're also a sort of a self proclaimed moderator. What Chutzpah do you have to say it me? I never said such things to any poster. Welcome to my ignore list, being Jewish or not. You'll like it there.

Ari, watch A&J's "One Dove" (Woody Allen plays Fred Astaire at the end) and see if you don't feel . . . like a dove.

720p, and full screen a must on this video.

then, if you liked the song, meet the singer:

Yeah, this is Radio X.

For adults only.

Smiling is good, laughing is better but only if you're Jewish!

Ems, I think that is very wise advice (from a fellow tribeswoman ) and I'm sure that's what most of us here do.

Well, I am all for a good laugh.................... but I am not sure I can do the wailing bit

but I might be able to manage this....................

PS - with apologies to Napstress for being part of the hijack

Her question was
What AHI consistently leaves you feeling refreshed upon awakening, with sufficient energy and mental clarity throughout the day, and in generally a good mood?

and I am sorry to say that what comes to mind is Drugs, Sex and Rock n Roll, rather than AHi, but then again, that is only a fading memory................................

Mars, clearly you have a magnificent ear.

Accapella Subway Doo-Wop (ASDW) was my passionate attempt at becoming a recording artist.

Then I discovered that other, vastly more successful artists supplemented that passion with a a sleazy combination of looks, charisma and talent.

So, I became a recording engineer.

Mars, If I were to put:

1. A little Hasidic Jewish twinkle in your eye

2. Reggae Joy in your heart

3. A microphone in your hand, I sense that this would be the miraculous amalgam:
