My husband has sleep apnea but it is’nt being treated yet, he has an appointment in July. He has been experiencing headaches and now his left arm is going numb, can this be from sleep apnea?

Christensen asked:


I’m an extremely light sleeper. If there is any noise, I probably won’t get to sleep. So, I sleep with the fan on to drown out noises. Unfortunately, in the morning, I wake up with the sun. So, I don’t need an alarm clock, and I wake up earlier and earlier during the summer months. I put up a thick blanket to cover my window in order to have some sanity. As well, if I wake up in the middle of the night, it often takes me a long time to fall back to sleep – if I do. Because I’m such a light sleeper, I think I actually don’t get enough sleep. By the weekend, I need a long nap to offset the sleep I don’t get during the week. Can anyone suggest any websites or ways to help with this sort of insomnia?
PS: ear plugs and masks don’t work as they bother me and prevent me from sleeping. Way too sensitive!

I’m really considering joining the air force, I recently talked to a recruiter and although I mentioned taking prescription meds for ocd (paroxetine) and insomnia (temazepam). Do you think this would disqualify me? Thanks for any help.
I did talk to my recruiter about it and he said he wasn’t sure and would find out for me. I’m just looking for other people who know already.

I have sleep apnea which is well controlled through the use of a CPAP machine, but I was turned down for health insurance by Blue Cross Blue Shield because of it. I recently left a job through which I had health insurance and am now self employed and need to find an individual policy for myself.

SnaX asked:


Or do you know for sure you have it. It is like on tv when people just fall over suddeny asleep, or can it be fatigue mixed with other strange symptoms?

Nin10dude asked:


I’ve just arrived from Asia on a 18 hour flight. I read somewhere, that eastward flights are much worse, since you are going back in time. I agree so, since from Midnight to 6 AM. I am absolutely awake, and cannot sleep. But at 5PM, when I come home, all I can think of is sleep! I’d skip dinner for a nap.

The timezone differrence I am in is 14 hours! When its 1PM here, its 3 AM there. Somebody help! Its really hard for me to go through this every night. I’ve heard the most effective is to stay awake for an entire day and night, but for me, I won’t be able to last that long.

Any help is appreciated.

NOTE: Lunesta, Ambien or other sleep meds are dangerous to take during jet lag.
I has been three days I have arrived in the USA…

I’m writing a paper and I’d appreciate so help getting some definite answers. For example, like what are some of the symptoms that overlap? Why do they assume epilepsy and not narcolepsy?
