But I'm glad that you're on your way to finding a solution for it!<br /><br />My boyfriend has lived with me for a few years, and our toddler sleeps in our room. His snores, and that choking/waking thing, have woken her up since she was a baby.<br /><br />I'm sure that he has sleep apnea as well, since I saw it for years in my brother. But since we don't have insurance, he just has to deal with it. But it's scary for the other person in the bed, to hear someone wake from sleeping like that all night!<br /><br />Good luck on getting this solved, and on your weight loss journey!Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906415983004334934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380303656247760432.post-84160056825756869452012-03-02T07:51:18.199-08:002012-03-02T07:51:18.199-08:00I've thought for a long time that I had this p...I've thought for a long time that I had this problem. My snoring is bad enough to even wake ME up. I get up several times during the night too. I know I should do something about it, but I hate the idea of trying to sleep with a mask on :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04968548036580977266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380303656247760432.post-55142625678922020512012-03-02T07:14:56.359-08:002012-03-02T07:14:56.359-08:00Even without the carb addiction factored in, when ...Even without the carb addiction factored in, when I'm tired, I eat. Constantly. When the dogs get me up at night and I can't get back to sleep, the next day is almost always harder for me to watch what I eat.<br /><br />I'm glad you're exploring the apnea issue.Marie Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838079550433002806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380303656247760432.post-65081314643616751162012-03-02T07:05:32.080-08:002012-03-02T07:05:32.080-08:00I agree that exhaustion from apnea probably has a ...I agree that exhaustion from apnea probably has a huge effect on weight loss. No energy - this whole thing is a vicious circle. The apnea could be related to the weight, but not sleeping contributes to the weight.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877292940011747505noreply@blogger.com
