I had been having a problem, waking up in the middle of the night choking, suffocating. I would collapse while standing up and if I did fall asleep while the TV was on I would remember the shows during the night. I thought that I was dying. In 2006 it was diagnosed as being
Sleep Apnea, my blood oxygen levels dropped to around 50%, the technician said that my case was the worst he had seen.
I was provided with a CPAP machine, once I was used to it, it was cool, sleep - out like a light, no more surrealistic sleep episodes...
Ran across the following article the other day,
Brain Connections Strongest During Waking Hours, figured that I would share my experiences and the article.
