This group is dedicated to those of us that need to shed those extra pounds caused by untreated sleep apnea. Here we may share our stories, recipes, and motivate each other to take control over our weight caused by sleep apnea.

Welcome to the Sleepguide community.

We are a group of patients and professionals that are interested in sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can contribute to a number of health issues, that if not treated can lead to serious consequences for those that have sleep apnea.

We work together to help those that are struggling with their therapy to find solutions to their issues that they may have. Various treatment options are available, with cpap/apap therapy probably being among the least invasive for those with severe sleep apnea.

Please feel free to join in the discussions and participate in the forum.

Okay I will describe last night's dream. I teach school and our district built a new school (not really happening). The school was huge and had many, many hallways with twist and turns. The rooms were not marked in any manner. Every time I left my…

I agree with most of that. There are pros and cons to both of our solutions. I do not want to turn this into a free market vs government debate. we could argue over which is the puppet and which is the puppet master for days. As it is I still have t…

Rock, From looking at your avatar, I assume I am quite a few decades older than you. So I knew a few decades before "the current economic situation" that there are "good and bad" apples in both government and private business. In private businesses…

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…

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.

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…

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.
