Just found out I need a CPAP. [View all]

Had a sleep study done Friday night. The technician came in and put me on a CPAP machine and I got more rest.

The doctor at the sleep center called me on Saturday and said she would work with me on the type of mask. I have the nervous system kind of sleep apnea, not the obstructive kind.

I've had insomnia nearly my whole life, would stay up late, unable to go to sleep, and sleep late until the afternoon. We're talking sleeping 5 am to 3 pm. I thought I was tired all the time because of hypothyroidism since the age of eleven.

I went to the dentist on good Friday and they gave me a halcion and I stopped breathing. They yelled at me to wake up and breathe. So that's why I got a sleep study.
