Bill......just curious how you feel during the day? Fatigued? Lots of aches and pains? Irregular heartbeats? Hunger? Trouble thinking?
I knew a person once who felt that she had good nights' sleep.....but her sleep study showed outrageous amounts of apneas/hypopneas.
She was totally unaware of her bad sleep.......although it was manifesting itself in other ways during the days.

Prior to first sleep study, I would have to split my 30 minute drive to work in 3. I spent every spare moment I had in bed sleeping. I waited
entirely to long to get this addressed. Since starting bi-level pap therapy on April 30, compared to how I felt it is night and day different.
I am very lucky that I don't have further health issues other then I put on a tremendous amount of weight. I have lost 20 lbs since May and
I am not really on any diet. I sometimes feel fatigued around 6 pm. I often wonder that because I felt like I was at deaths door that
the improvement is so great that I don't realize I have further issue. So for now I feel good and I am living for the moment and tomorrow is not
promised to any of us, I hope this makes sense to you.
