But I thought that what aroused us was pressure on diaphragm from trying to breath thru the obstruction. More pressure = quicker arousal. Ergo cats cure apnea. So if your apnea is mild you need a cat, moderate a maine coon cat or a dog and if it's severe you need a labrador retriever. Right?
Did anybody else have a sleep doc who wrote up a list of good sleep hygiene recommendations for insomnia including kicking the cat out of the bedroom. Mine did even though too little sleep was certainly NOT one of my complaints. Talk about a form report. And never mind that kicking the cat out of the bedroom certainly eliminates any chance of quiet for the entire neighborhood.
