I hear that the easiest way to cure sleep apnea is to not be a fatass. Suicide is also a possibility.

Yep! You two have to go for a sleep study, apnea puts a terrible strain on your heart. You both have someone sleeping with you, do they say that you are gasping for air all night?

The next time I come down to work on the house there to get it rented out!

I can't seem to muster the energy to get the shit painted and cleaned and fixed. I may never rent it out, just pay on it for the rest of my life because that's easier than taking action.

I suspect that the apnea is part of the reason I can't seem to get anything done. I slept for 15 hours yesterday, took a nap today, and I'm still exhausted.

I have sleep apnea, insomnia, and recurring sleep paralysis.

JUST KILL ME

At least you know you have sleep paralysis and don't think aliens are abducting you or something like that.

Avoid alcohol and sedatives.

A fate worse than death.

The treatment of sleep apnea usually involves the following:

Weight reduction (over 95% of individuals suffering from sleep apnea are obese).
Avoid alcohol and sedatives.
Medications to stimulate the respiratory center of the brain to keep you breathing while asleep.
Masks (CPAP) that force your airway to stay open, thereby allowing you to breath.
Mandible (jaw) positioning devices that help reposition the tongue to help prevent the airway obstruction.
...

My husband has it. He uses the C-pap machine. He tryed the surgery twice and it did no good for him. When he first used it he said it was the first time he feel like he had slepted in years. If he doesn't put it on it looks like he is in pain. When he snores it sounds like he will rupture something in there. He looks so peaceful with it on.

The C-pap machines nowadays aren't too bad, they're usually small and quite portable. Are you smoking these days, Holygeez, or having a bit too much bacon?

Untreated obstructive sleep apnea also increases the risk of:

heart attacks,

strokes,

high blood pressure,

decreased productivity at work,

decreased attentiveness at home, and

sudden death.

So there's that.

My only sleep disorder is occasional insomnia which is kind of boring. I'd much rather have narcolepsy.

I snore like a motherfucker and I'm exhausted most of the time.

I think I do, but don't want to go get checked out.

I don't want the CPAP machine.

Advice?
