Chars Life and Times

Many years ago, whenever I used to sleep, my husband said that the house would rumble like an earthquake. My snoring, he said, was just horrible. Of course, I didn’t think I snored and I thought he was full of bologna. About four years ago, I kept falling asleep during the day at my computer. I was always tired and would always take a nap in the afternoon but even that wouldn’t help my sleepiness. I talked to my physician about my tiredness and about how I always would fall asleep and he thought I might want to do a sleep test. I said sure, why not. After all, it couldn’t hurt. I spent a night at the hospital with wires hooked to me and people watching me sleep. Afterward they brought me this strange contraption they called a CPAP mask and told me to try to sleep with it on. When I put it on my face, air rushed into my nose. It was a little unnerving at first but I got used to it. After about a week I got my test results back and I had been diagnosed with sleep apnea.
