shut off all screens for 2 hours before going to bed. no pc, no smartphone, no tv.
Only lay on bed if you are actually going to sleep at that moment.
if you don't do this you are killing your melatonin

You won't be able to tell if you stop breathing - snoring isn't always sleep apnea but it can be. The doctor will actually measure your REM cycles and brain waves - I was "asleep" for 8 hours during my study but I never entered REM sleep - actually, I never went below the first phase of sleep which is when you are falling asleep. I stopped breathing 56 times per hour so almost once per minute for the whole night.

It's the equivalent of someone shaking you awake every minute but you not remembering waking up

>girl

lol no

Obstructive sleep apnea is also common in fatties. Mine got much better after losing 40 lbs and sleeping on a wedge pillow.

What did the doc do for yours? Cpap?

And how are you treating it

Yes, CPAP therapy.

Mine is obstructive too but due to excess tissue in my throat. Fatties kind of get a viscious cycle going on because the fatter they get the worse they sleep which causes them to get fatter.

>weighted blanket
>room totally blacked out with blackout curtains, electrical tape on electronics, can't even see hand or anything

You treated your sleep apnea by eating less?

A Chad.

Fuck okay I’m thinking I have sleep apnea. My father has it, and I’m always waking up despite suing melatonin at this point. Have had periods where I slept 2 hours a WEEK for months at a time. Lately I’ve been getting 8 or more but still feel exhausted most days and like you described. Do I just go to my general doctor and request a sleep study?

It is over.

CPAP therapy

Bane?

Legends also say you should sleep on your left side because of avoiding potential heartburn and avoiding building gas shit in your stomach

How much of a pain in the ass is a sleep study? Recently had bloodwork done and it's all clear but I still wake up tired every single day no matter how long I sleep.

if i pull that off, will you die?

>micrograms

It's one night at a clinic. Not a pain at all.

SLEEP TIGHT GAY BOY

>have sex

>>corpse position aka body facing staight up
youtu.be/O8UoAASCUsQ Says otherwise

>that being said I literally tried sleeping on my side without a pillow yesterday and it didn't work at all.

When I wake up for work I feel tired even with 8 hours of sleep. Meanwhile on weekends I have trouble sleeping more than 6 hours without waking up every 20 minutes. Why is that?

Mk677 and melatonin

Can't wait for DOTR to deal with these freaks

did you get your test measured before/after?

>corpse position aka body facing staight up
enjoy your sleep paralysis

Got myself a japanese futon and a half inch regular training mat to put below that on the wooden floor. It's a fucking revelation. I sleep on the back instead of my side and like a fucking rock. I actually sleep a bit less and get up slightly earlier because the thing will be flatter in the morning and thus harder, discouraging me from lazing around half-asleep. It's fucking great, less time wasted and better sleep all around, issues from sleeping on my side are gone, all problems with my back vanished, I can only encourage everyone to try it for a couple of weeks.
It's also cheap as fuck, saves a ton of space, is pretty hygiencic as long as you are airing them properly [spoiler]and aren't walking around inside with street shoes like a phillistine[/spoiler] and putting it up each night is a nice little ritual.

Corpse position makes me lucid dream. Highly annoying... Guess it gave me a new skill though.

Some places also do at home ones. You'll go into a clinic in the evening and get the monitor put on, then go back in the morning and drop it off.

Oh shit, das it mane.
This is the best pre-workout.
I can feel my test rising into the duodecillion
