I have done the overnight sleep study on three separate occasions. I snored (of course) and was diagnosed with sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. As part of the second sleep study I was outfitted half way through the night with the dreaded CPAP appartus - things improved. The sleep doctor then prescribed a CPAP for me. Once I got acclimated to wearing it was not too bad though I never really took a liking to that device. Allow me to interject that I was always feeling fatigued hence my initial visit to the sleep clinic (plus my wife, who was my girlfriend at the time, thought that I was going to die in my sleep...)

I started running a couple of years back and wore the device less and less. A higher incidence rate of sleep apnea occurs in overweight people and I only weigh in around 170 pounds with a height of 5'-8". During my third sleep study the girl next door to be was around 8 years old and skinny as a rail but she had sleep apnea also. I finally put the machine away last week as I was tidying up for my family to come up for Thanksgiving.

Unfortunately, as part of my diagnosis it was determined that I have an enlarged uvula - a big schlong (sp) would have much much more beneficial than the big o' uvula but I guess you take what you are given...
