I do not believe that licensure will drive up prices. As I said before the prices are based off of the doctor, the lab, and the insurance companies that are involved. The sleep tech makes about 5% of the overall cost for performing the study. Someti…

Rock Hinkle replied to sleepycarol's discussion 'Weird Dreams -- Why'
What kind of dreams were they? Were they just wierd off the wall dreams? Were you threatened in these dreams? I have read many studies. Some say that we are more likely to remember NREM dreams with arousals, and others say the same thing about REM d…

I would worry that the unit may over heat if the lid is on it, even if the hose is going through a hole. I would add an additional opening near the air intake if it was me.

Weird Dreams -- Why
Prior to getting my diagnosis of sleep apnea and getting it under control, I didn't dream much.  This is probably pretty typical since we don't receive much REM sleep (is that the stage where you are dreaming?).    After starting therapy, I started…

Tim I worked with a lady once that said at her husband's work place they used tampons to dry parts (but for the life of me can't remember what type of parts as this was 35 years ago). I thought is was ever soooo funny. 99 do you put the lid of the…

sleepycarol replied to a a pearson's discussion 'swollen eyes'
Try to readjust your headgear as suggested. Can you feel air leaking into your eyes? Have you checked with your doctor? Pink eye sometimes goes around and if you are having trouble that last all day you may want to check it out.
