I’m headed to a sleep center next week friday for sleep apnea. Girlfriend says I jump around in my sleep bad enough to wake her up a few times a week. Before it was just once a week or so… I walk around in a haze almost… feel like I’m never completely awake. Like that feeling when you fire wake up, that’s what I feel like all day long. I can sleep the whole day away and feel that way. Or sleep 4 hours and feel the same… After a 12-14hr shift I feel like I can’t even make it home. Can’t remember a thing either. PITA. Hoping they have some answers. ---

Good luck man. It’s so hard to get accurate results from the sleep center because it’s such an abnormal sleep environment. Sleeping with all those tubes and wires on you is tough. ---

Alright, I passed out with the TV on a few times. I dreamed I was on Mt.Morris, I have never been there, nor do I know where it is. Also, I fell asleep watching CSI and dreamed I was fighting someone with nick stokes and I had some dude in a choke hold. Long behold I woke up to the G/f hitting me because I had her in a choke hold. LOL ---

They will, almost without a doubt, tell you that you have sleep Apnea. Take it with a grain of salt and get a second opinion. Have an ENT look at the results of the sleep study and examine your throat/nasal passages to get a real indication as to whether or not a CPAP will help you. I did the sleep study and they tried telling me I needed one of those machines. My ENT doctor said this: "I send people to those studies too because it is a legitimate problem, but not one person has ever come back where the sleep center said ‘Oh, this person is fine.’ " > [@Freek](#): > > Drink a lot before bet… or take ambien. long walks on the beach help. Ambien is some scary shit… ---

One trick I’ve seen is to wear sunglasses around the house for an hour or two before bedtime. Apparently it makes your body release melatonin. If you’re melatonin deficient you can take a supplement. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sleeping-issues/217120.md?page=4)
