[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband over the years has reported having to wake me intermittently because my gasping was loud enough to awaken him. Then, as I have gained weigh over the years, I've started snoring as well.

I admittedly brushed it off for a while because he's a light sleeper and a bit overdramatic about that in general. But then I got a smart watch and wore it overnight and it showed I was waking up dozens of times a night.

Finally got a home and then an in lab sleep study which both showed mild sleep apnea. I got a CPAP about 6 months ago and mostly use it, but I can't say I notice a huge difference in my energy levels. Maybe a little. But I'm willing to use it because I know about the cardiovascular risks it mitigates and because my partner gets better rest when I use it.

I do intend to have a repeat sleep study should i ever lose any significant amount of weight. I feel like that the main cause of the apnea for me, and given that it is only mild weight loss might be enough to resolve it.[/quote]

Weight loss seems a long term sensible fix. [/quote]
