OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYMPTOMS:

Loud snoring. This can indicate breathing problems or blocked air passages.

Cessation of breathing or choking spells in the night. In severe cases, this can occur over fifty times an hour with each hundreds of times a night with each one lasting as long as ten seconds.

Excessive daytime sleepiness. Sleep apnea causes sleep deprivation. Daytime sleepiness can become so excessive that working becomes impossible and driving is dangerous.

Frequent visits to the bathroom during the night.

Severe mood swings from depression to irritability to anger.

Obesity In many cases. Although some slim people do suffer from sleep apnea the majority are overweight or obese.

Low sex drive and a general lack of energy.

Dry mouth and sore throat in the morning from sleeping with the mouth open, snoring and gasping for air.

Lack of concentration and forgetfulness from sleep deprivation.

Morning headaches

For those that know, I have a sleeping problem(snoring to be exact). Well the last several months its been increasingly worse, and more of a problem. I have a good job, I have love in my life, and goals. I still have the basic worries, but who doesnt. But my interests have dwindled, my goals are in the backseat, no interest for anything. I have to force myself to go out, or i wouldnt. Im tired all the time, i'm falling asleep while driving more frequently. Nothing is there! I'm frustrated everynight, lying awake then falling asleep a couple hours before i have to go to work. Or sleeping till 1 before i have to go into work on a late day. I havent drawn anything since last year. I try to go and draw and all i get is crap! What im going through is more than lack of motivation. Something is wrong, but what?

I'm looking into things to see what things can help. First off breathe right strips dont work! Looking into the thyroid and hormones to see if there out of whack. There is something wrong with my system, and i dont have health insurance to have it medically checked out, so for now it'll have to be done naturally.

ring around the rosies...........

Wow! really has been a long time since ive posted. so lets see. nothing really exciting has been happening to me. its just normal life as usual. I did however get a raise and im bumped up to full time at work. what this means is not as much as you think. Full time here means 35 hours, and the raise was only slight, not as much as what i originally thought. but its a start. and its not till next month.

last month i did however got out to california with sean. by now you've seen most of what has happened to me(see seans blog for more details). The ride out there was fairly interesting. Wyoming seems like the last piece of wilderness in america. everything is so desolate. the lightning we saw was enormous. i can truly imagine was poineers and explorers felt when they traveled out here. Nebraska, nebraska needs to fix there road system. what a cockass piece of crap that system is. Utah is hilly! When a roadway system has a out of control/lost your brakes lane, you better be concerned. And California, well its California. hasnt changed since i was there last. The IN n OUT burgers still taste soooo good! Finally got to go to Trader Joes. had some of there Two Buck Chuck(2 dollar wine). it was ok.

Its really fairly uninteresting here. Next month should be more interesting. got some things lined up. Oh and its "the wedding" this weekend. kristen gets to show me off, and i get to embarass the shit out of her. Its gonna be great! Maybe i'll have some good stories from that to tell. Everybody have a great week, and cya!
