Non-Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Is my official diagnosis. I went to the Iowa Sleep Disorders clinic for a sleep study a few weeks ago, and my results were in yesterday. Apparently I wake up 95 times per hour, stop breathing 26 times per hour, and NEVER go into REM sleep. No wonder I'm always tired LOL. I have to go back for another overnight sleep study on Friday so they can get the air pressure set correctly on the CPAP machine, which I will now be wearing whenever I sleep. I've heard great things about the results of the machine though, so I'm hoping it will completely change my sleeping habits. Yay for technology!
