Good to hear this has reached you in the USA :)  The British Lung Foundation have been given funding by Philips Respironics for a massive Sleep Apnoea Campaign here in the UK, which Hope2Sleep are involved with too.  It's very exciting that finally OSA will be in the limelight and many people will hopefully get diagnosed.

That was pretty scary.  We often stop breathing for longer periods, but that 40 seconds seemed like forever.  I had one 1 min 44 sec. apnea in my first ever sleep test.  I wonder at what point the techs burst into thew room to wake you?
