[QUOTE="scratch, post: 182879, member: 1674"] I have Sleep Apnea, it can be a problem. During my Sleep Study, I was wired up to a monitor, and woke up 120 times over a three hour period, which is considered a mild case. Your brain wakes your body up because you quit breathing, so your body doesn't get the deep sleep it needs. I had the throat surgery, which removed my tonsils and adenoids. This is only about 50% effective. I used to wake up in the morning alone because my snoring was so bad my wife would go sleep downstairs. Now she is still there, the surgery "changed the tone". It is common in overweight people, when the surgery doesn't work, the treatment is something called a C-PAC machine. This is a machine that pumps air into a nose piece, forcing air into your lungs. You sleep like a baby, and enjoy a deep, restful sleep. My surgery helped some, since I move around all day long my job doesn't suffer. But I will nod off sometimes if I sit still for an hour or so, like in a meeting or sitting in a church pew. I have to bring a note from the surgeon when I go for my yearly DOT physical. If you snore bad and wake up in the morning with a dry sore throat and are tired all day, then you probably have it. Make an appointment with an Ear, Nose, Throat doctor. [/QUOTE]
