He went to see our regular Doctor yesterday and now is trying to get an appt set up for a sleep study? Does that sound right?
i heard a trick for people with back problems. They need to sleep on their back with a pillow under their lets. Anyway to keep them from turning on their sides you sew a tennis ball to a tee shirt on each side..it's uncomfortable and they roll back on their back. By mary kay
isn't that called boobs????
lol...lol...lol
That's usually how it works so yes that sounds correct. You might actually get some good sleep while he's having his sleep study done
Yep! They will see how many times he wakes himself up and decide if he needs a c-pap machine.
Yep, sleep study is the first step towards your getting a good night sleep and his life being saved 
I have sleep apnea and use a cpap (continuous postive airway pressure) machine.
During the sleep study they will wire him up all over monitor him during his sleep to see how many times he actually stops breathing.
I love my cpap - sleep soundly and feel so much better during the day. It is not an overnight miracle, it takes a little time to readjust your body to sleeping better.
There are various face masks that can be used such as ones that cover the nose and mouth, just the nose and then there are "pillows" that are placed directly in the nares. The pillows are what I ended up using, after trying all the others.
Best of luck with the sleep study! Keep us informed.

The only pillows we have are the ones I thought of smothering him with.....sorry sleep deprived
LOL I brought up pillows earlier but love is suppose to keep the pillow under your head not over his lmao.
I discovered I have sleep apnea when I was in the ICU following my heart attack last summer. I was hooked to all kinds of wires and monitors. The nurse finally took the oxygen tube off my face, and I fell asleep. As soon as the apnea started in, the monitors would go crazy because my pulse ox (oxygen in the blood) would drop way down, and cause the nurses to come running to my room. The nurse decided to put the oxygen back on me, and I slept just fine after that. I haven't had a sleep study (no insurance) but if I ever had to use a CPAP, I hope I could find one like the oxygen tube used in hospitals. I tried my sisters CPAP machine on, and I didn't like it. But she's used to it, and swears by it. She looks a lot healthier since she started using it.
My hubby used to snore really bad, but he lost 80 pounds, and doesn't snore much anymore. Of course he's a trucker, and only home 4 days a month, and I could care less if he does snore!

My husband has sleep apnea and refuses to get help for it...i believe he could suck the paint off the walls sometimes..it keeps me up a lot..i fall asleep from sleep deprivation..he swears he wakes up from me hitting him..i don't remember hitting him though...even in my sleep I must wack him from driving me insane..i even tried getting him to wear those nose things to open his passages up n he will not...i guess i'm stuck with it
Ok - I am probably going to get thrown out of here and never let back in, but I find my husbands snoring rather comforting - I know he is there Admittedly, although he snores a lot its usually not very loud but it does wake me. But then, compared to the Rottie pacing, pawing me, sticking her nose in my face, then sighing loudly and dropping herself {THUD} the floor followed by another long sigh because I won't get up, the little dog scratching all darned night, and both dogs growling at the cat who delights in coming in one door then meowing for me to get up and let her out of the other door, so she can walk through the house, go out of an open window, over the roof and back in the first door to repeat the whole process over again ...... snoring or no snoring wouldn't make any difference to my sleeping problems. ... and if I slept in another room, the brat pack would go with me ... so nothing gained - lol.

OMG!! Bless your sleep deprived heart!!!!!
I lock my pets out of my bedroom at night, because they all want to be by Momma and there is only so much room in a King size bed when hubs stands and lays 6.5 ft.
Jessie, My hubby and yours should have to go camping together and sleep in the same tent! I doubt the tent could survive the night!
Barking..I see why you have your name! Lock the dogs and cat out and tell the hubby how much you love him but tape record him and play it back!
The snoring gets worse with time and will affect his heart.
Welcome to the Women's Rom and to ECF both of you!
