Sleep Racket

Post by hairnet » Tue Feb 14, 2006 8:23 am

Has anyone read the article in the latest Forbes Magazine (Feb. 27, 2006) titled The Sleep Racket, Who's Making Big Bucks Off Your Insomnia by Melanie Wells? Kind of interesting, especially after reading all the messages on this forum. I'm going in today to the sleep clinic and hope I will be able to get a prescription for an APAP after not tolerating either the CPAP or BiPap. We'll see. Maybe I'm just contributing more to the Sleep Racket.

I highly recommend doing it yourself if your sleep clinic can't get it right for you. The thing is, those guys don't have nearly the time to invest in your success that you do. There are a multitude of factors involved and the sleep clinics only seem to work on a very few. Good luck.
