I just had my first night sleep on a CPAP machine at the hospital. For like an hour of waking up I felt like I had hit a bong til I passed out, but by like 7am...

I was beatboxing making breakfast, I actually slid across the floor in my socks, and I'm genuinely HAPPY.

Why did I wait so freakin long?

Must be fun. :)
 
lmao - no it's just a strip of rubber with a thing that goes in your nose.

I had a shitty night sleep at the hospital testing for my cpap device. I visit the docs on Thursday to get my machine so hopefully I too will have some tremendous sleep coming my way!

It's nuts. Everyone was saying I'd feel a million times better, and you know how that usually goes.. you're the only one it doesn't work for. But nope. I'm laughing on the phone, working, and writing this shit all at the same time.

and it's only 9am.

Bitches love sleep Apnea and those CPAP machines.

You can see the barely contained lust in catwoman's eyes.
 
sleep apnea is seriously bad stuff.

happy to hear you feel good and are sorting this out. looking like darth vader while you sleep is well worth being happy, healthy, and not having heart failure by the time you are 45.

good luck bro!

I'm really excited to see what I'm like in a few days after sleeping. This has been my best morning in a long long time, though - and all I've been doing is working lol.
 
I thought only fat people get sleep apnea.

edit: You should seriously read something like The Ultramind Solution if you're relying on a machine to do one of the most natural human processes known, sleep, since there's probably something else wrong with your body causing your problems.

THIS.

All you are doing is avoiding the problem by using a man made device. Try solving it instead of avoiding it. Your body is trying to tell you something.

It could be the gluten in your cheerios bro.

Not true.

I have "moderate-to-severe" sleep apnea caused by a few factors. Weight is definitely one, but my doctor said he has marathon runners who are in perfect physical shape who suffer from severe sleep apnea due to having a small airway.

I wasn't able to workout because I was so tired, which got me more fat. Getting a CPAP gave me the energy to workout, which made me lose weight.

I'm still on the CPAP, but no where near as dependent on it as I once was.

Humans evolved to run (at first, now we have evolved to walk), so it's kind of an absurd idea to think that a small airway is some common natural evolutionary quirk causing sleep apnea. That's a very conventional/backward clinical approach to the problem. There's probably a lot more going on that's causing it, literally could be thousands of different things. coolbrostory.tiff

This makes no sense.

With a relaxation of selection pressure comes increased genetic variety within the species. This is basic evolutionary biology. How many of us depend on running for our survival these days? Very few. So it's completely plausible that a mutation like a small airway has become relatively common.
