Sleep Apnea is when your breathing stops during sleep, and it can be fatal. I made this video, with the help of the tech, Mark, to help those who are told they need a sleep study to diagnose sleep apnea. There is humor in anything, I think, but sleep apnea can be deadly and is not a joke. If your doc wants you tested, get tested. I will get my results in a week or so.

My dad has sleep apnea and he’s been on the machine for a few years now. i dont know how bad his is so i cant be accurate on how his condition is. good luck with the test, uncle will.
TY for that teeth brushing reminder– my down fall is that I love watching films and tele, and I eat. . . then fall asleep on the couch. Four hours later I wake up, THEN brush my teeth. .. very bad! My daughter says I breathe from my chest now(because of weight) and that is why my singing voice changed. Perhaps fat causes Sleep Apnea too. MArk’s Goatee is way sexy. Have you tried swimming everyday plus relaxation techniques?
Oh, I remember now what happened after the test.
He had to use some kind of breathing machine every night(a small one, not the big one like in the hospital… maybe the size of a small vacuum cleaner).
good video. i have to go in for a sleep study tomorrow. he answered all my questions and added some humor. i was wondering can you sleep on your stomach or side i can’t fall asleep on my back at all
they made me sleep on my back for a while to induce apneas. otherwise I didn’t have them.
It’s a bit sad, eh?

I’m sure Mark will be happy to read that! I don’t have access to a pool, so I run.
Thanks. Results to follow in a week or so.
