Discovery Health is currently showing a Mystery Diagnosis episode that features sleep apnea. It starts again in about 25 minutes. It also plays again on July 22.

Man I thought this was about that episode of "The New Adventure of Old Christine" that was on last night!

She was sleep deprived for about 10 years. All I saw was gags, no diagnosis or therapy, so I switched to something else.

It was pretty funny how she would call people all night long and not remember. She invited them for waffles in the morning. They all showed up. And then she called her ex and wanted to get back together with him...

I think it was mainly a bunch of running gags about Lunesta. My favorite line: "I've seen the commercial for this stuff. It stars a cuddly teddy bear that flies around the room, then up to the star on a magic carpet. Why don't you just take acid?"

LOL,

Watched that episode last night. The SA portion was good but kind of short.

I was watching a show called The Obesity Clinic of Brookhaven on the learning channel I think?? There was a woman mentioned that died at a young age and part of the reason for death was sleep apnea.

Also on one of one of our local news channels the other night they were talking about the dental device that helps snoring and sleep apnea. I didn't get to see the whole thing because I just caught part of it on the TV at my workout clinic but at least the subject was discussed and we will probably here a lot more about it in the future.
