[QUOTE="Seanmccleery, post: 1509603, member: 419562"] I have had sleep apnoea for over ten years and before discovered fell asleep driving no one hurt, the increase in weight is a main factor, the CPAP machine constantly pressures the airway,thus the flappy thing in your throat is kept open no more waking up because you can't breathe and no more snoring. If you get your doctor to refer you to a sleep lab they will send you home with a oxymeter to record your blood oxygen (the thing just clamps on finger) they can see then how many times you stopped breathing can 15-20 times an hour but you don't know it. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
