My sleep has been an absolute disaster for the past couple of years - it’s really been having a serious impact on my work and home life. Sometimes I get less than 2 hours sleep in a night and even when I do “sleep” I have been waking up feeling like I’ve been on the booze for a month. I thought it was just “mental” insomnia and had unsuccessfully tried sleeping pills. Anyway, I’ve just been diagnosed with very severe apnea - 55 breaks per hour and blood oxygen dropping to just above 80%! I’m kind of bummed but also kind of relieved as at least I know I’m not going insane and it’s something physical - at least a major part of it. Worst thing is the 3-6 month wait to see the cpap specialist to try and get a machine organized - wtf!?!
