Sleep Apnea 2: Sleep Lab (Part 1)
Getting prepped by Vlad, the scoring technician, at New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center Sleep Lab for a sleep study to evaluate my apnea and titrate a cpap treatment.
Special thanks to Vlad for participating in the video. When my camera battery died, he let me borrow his (he has the same camera) and changed memory cards and setup shots. And, he is natural on camera – A star is born!
Also thanks to him and the other techs at NY Hospital Sleep Center for their humanity and competence.

I think the reason …
I think the reason sleep apnea causes people to gain weight is because they’re tired all the time from not sleeping properly. It’s just seems to fit. I’m trying to lose weight and I’ve had this problem since I was kid. Always tired all the time. Some nights are good most of the time I have trouble sleeping. Its going on midnight and have work in the morning. Not good

To those saying, “Lose weight”: How much energy would you have to exercise if I stood by your bedside and woke you up every 30 seconds, all night every night?

Continued from …
Continued from previous post… My Dr told me today that a study was just released showing that people that had developed moderate sleep apnea had trouble managing weight even with regular exercise, and people with severe SA gained weight. So there is a connection. At any rate, I start therapy tonight. Thankfully, they were pretty swift in setting me up because I am so severe.. we are talking a possibility of death.. He said there should be immediate improvement. They well run another study soon

Hey check this out….. I just found out today that not all people that have sleep apnea are overweight…. but yes… many are.. including myself…. but his is the kicker…. I was in pretty good shape about 10 years ago when my wife mentioned that I stopped breathing when I slept. At that time I was running 5 miles a day. I thought no biggie.. but as the years gone by it has gotten worse and I have gained a lot of weight. continued…

It’s pointless.
The guy is too fat. That is the ONLY reason he has sleep apnea.
The doctor’s of COURSE won’t mention that because then they will lose the patient and lose money.

LOSE WEIGHT.
Sleep apnea is a direct result from too much fatty tissue.

The room they had for me was different than the one you had. Ours was like a hotel room. It was a Queen sized bed, with carpet, and a recliner with a big LCD Screen (atleast a 30 inch). It was quite nice. However the bed was very uncomfortable. I’m used to sleeping on a soft feathery bed. And the one they had was as hard as a slab of bedrock
