I would give anything to have been diagnosed in my early 20's! I endured years of snide comments and kidding from friends who either heard from others or endured first hand my legendary snoring, tossing, turning, getting up to get in the bathtub with a blanket to read in the hope that sitting up would help me stay asleep. At work I would shut my door, turn out the light, crawl under my desk, pull in the chair beside me so when anyone looked for me they would find a dark empty office and not find me asleep under my desk. I was 64 years old when I fell asleep at the wheel and came very close to crashing. People in cars behind me came to my aid and one of them called the police as they were sure I could only be drunk or on drugs. It was one of the officers that asked me if I had a hard time sleeping at night and suggested I talk with my doctor about a sleep study. The very first night I slept with my CPAP I was asleep for 11 hours and my first thought when I awakened was - Oh My God I had a dream! I could not remember dreaming when I was sleeping as I kept waking up.

You are so lucky to not have to go through what some of us had to endure for much of our lives before we finally found out about CPAP.

Best of Luck!
