In reply to Sleep test to be scheduled., posted by Dinah on June 10, 2004, at 12:41:42
My brother-in-law has sleep apnea and sleeps with a machine. He also is really happy about it. Everyone in the family noticed a 180 degree turn around in his personality when he was diagnosed and started getting a good night sleep every night. He's *so* much happier.
Before he was diagnosed, he was on a multi-year decline. He's one of my best friends in the world, and it had become downright difficult to be with him, and really sad and helpless feeling. Then once he started getting more sleep, he became his old self again. I hadn't noticed how *much* he had changed until he changed back. I personally am so grateful that he's treating his sleep apnea. He would be the first to tell you that treating it has changed his life for the better. He's much more involved with his son and wife, he's losing weight, he's *much* happier. I can't explain what a relief it has been to see his life turn around like that.
Just another aspect to think about.
