We all need more sleep. Drinking coffee with my toes is getting a bit socially awkward. And trust me, when you get my age, you'll only wish you had indulged in more sleep when you were young. Now I have to take an entire bottle of Ambien and drape a towel drenched in chloroform over my face to get any sleep at all! (WELL maybe I should cut back on the caffeine also....).
Have you been checked for sleep apnea?
No because I'm not willing to be put on a CPAP device. I suffer from bleeding throat due to an unnaturally dry throat, and I cannot tolerate any air forced down my airway. I probably DO have sleep apnea, but I don't have the usual symptoms of it, I simply usually just feel restless in bed and unable to feel sleepy at all. I go to bed late, you'd think I'd be worn out enough to sleep, but I just lay there. When i do sleep, it's all nightmares and I don't get any rest from that anyway.
They have a new device that you wear on your neck that electronically stimulates you to prevent apnea. Might be worth looking into. I’m not an expert though.
You don't always need some device for sleep apnea, if it's not a bad case. But what you're describing doesn't necessarily sound like that anyway.
@tygerprints @MrMamiya @getoffthedrugsdude yeah, you need to just deal with the C-PAP before you die.
