DARTH VADER LOOK ALIKE
I confess - I SNORE - sounding much like a freight train according to Randy. In fact, I can't remember when I didn't snore at least a little. Due to life's stress and daily challenges I always attributed my fatigue to just that -- life, work, kids, money, etc. However, Randy kept nagging me to find out if I was actually suffering from sleep apnea. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore - not the nagging - but the on-going fatigue and needing to take long naps - I was sleeping as little as 3 hours to as much as 12 hours per night. I had complained to my doctor at each and every physical that I suffered from terrible fatigue but a sleep study was never discussed. Now, of course,I look like Darth Vader when I go to bed!! The machine makes noise as well as lights up the bedroom - I absolutely hate this - my number 1 and 2 sleep requirements are absolute darkness and utter quite! I was surprised that I could actually sleep with the two major disturbances, however, I do and I almost always awake feeling rested and energized. There are times, however, when I yank the darn thing off my face and throw it on the floor sometime during the night - now on those mornings I know I'm going to feel like crap and take a very long nap during the day. The mask will lose it's seal and make loud farting sounds and sometimes a shrill whistle sound. That is when it hits the floor - not putting up with that ruckus one little bit!link | posted by BootyJC at 8:03 PM

Shelly had this to say:
You need to ask if you can wear the other style mask.
