To be fair, I saw two GPs about my sleepiness.  The first one told me I was stressed and to practice mindfulness.  The second one (who is my main one now, for obvious reasons) ordered all the tests and did the referral.  And surprise!  It wasn't just stress.

I was getting no sleep when pregnant with my first.  Asked the GP about it.  He said to wear socks to bed... helpful.  ::)

Luckily I quickly discovered one of those body pillows was what I needed.

I wonder about some of these people...

Did he put the mask on before the dance of the double-backed monster?  During? I need to know.

Wow, yeah, very different approaches.

To be fair, I saw two GPs about my sleepiness.  The first one told me I was stressed and to practice mindfulness.  The second one (who is my main one now, for obvious reasons) ordered all the tests and did the referral.  And surprise!  It wasn't just stress.

5.5 hours is quite low.  Is that due to apnoea interfering with your sleep?  :(

Also, as many sleep disorders (wonderfully) present simultaneously, if you aren't finding a lot of relief just treating your apnoea it might be worth trying to get a referral in case another disorder is also contributing to your sleepiness.

No, the 5.5 hours is  (was) just my habit.  Plus I always had to wait for my wife to fall asleep first or she couldn't fall asleep with me snoring at 60 decibels. 

Now I am going to stop watching the news at 10 and go to sleep earlier.
