How to Handle Hubby's Sleep Deprivation

[NoSlak]

Normally his primary would set him up to see a specialist.
The specialist will then do a sleep study on him where he would spend a night in a controlled environment ( mock up bedroom). Some symptoms of sleep apnea are inability at times to concentrate, fatigue, headaches. I wanted to sleep another twelve hours after sleeping for twelve.
FYI , sleep is a relatively new field and from experience have found that if a doctor does not know answers to problems then his or her ego may disregard them and or you.
After spending time on the net and reading books I diagnosed myself and had to see three doctors until I found one who wanted to give me a sleep study.
I had severe apnea and would stop breathing about 73 times per hour.
Two of the docs said I had no issues and they had never heard of sleep paralysis which was another symptom I was having and looked at me like I was crazy when I told them my symptoms.
Good luck and if he does have apnea then one of those little machines will change his life.
