I have one scheduled for tomorrow night. My wife has been telling me for years to get one done because I snore loudly and will stop breathing sometimes in my sleep. I also sleep extremely hard. My cousin once fired a shotgun outside my bedroom window and I knew nothing about it. I'm hoping for a good outcome. Anyone had a study done?
You a drinker/smoker? I know the ole lady say I snore loud after a heavy night of drinkin.
Honesty it isn't that you stop breathing. Its just a more relaxed and uncontrolled breathe each time. So short pauses do happen between exhale and inhale.
I had one done but just to see why i don't sleep.
I haven't had one done yet, but I really want to get one.
I don't know exactly what my breathing is doing but whatever it is isn't normal. It's been this way since I was little. I'm not a drinker really, but will have a beer or two once a month. I do smoke a pack a day, though.Quote:

My dad was a confined space welder (large holding tanks), he is just now starting to suffer from it 30 years later. If I remember right he stopped breathing 10 times an hour, and his heart would go all crazy then he would start breathing again. He is a non smoker and non drinker.
Good luck with your sleep study, hopefully your alright.
Don't do enough welding to cause that, I don't think. Thanks.
I've had one, I worked night crew on active duty and they made us get them done. Working from 230PM to 6am was normal hours for us. My wife even says I stop breathing sometimes but I rarely snore. They got me for sleep apnea though, which is weird because I didn't snore.
Everyone that's seen me sleep says I definitely have apnea. And they tell me that I'm not just sawing logs in my sleep, I'm the whole damn logging crew!
