I was born in Ann Arbor. In fact I was just there in June visiting family. My step father spent a couple of nights in the University of Michigan Sleep Disorders Clinic last year. I wish I would've checked your GeoURL metadata earlier. We could've gotten together while I was there. Oh well, maybe next time.</p> <p>Anyway, I'm glad to hear you are feeling better.</p> It is a small world. I was born in Ann Arbor. In fact I was just there in June visiting family.

I remember falling asleep on the road as well. It is amazing how even 1 night on the remstar can change you.</p> You are lucky, I went through the same experience and ended up losing my job because I could not stay awake.

Well it is good to experience another CPAP users perceptions. 6 years ago I had a sleep study done, NYU Medical Center Sleep Disorders Lab - NYC, NY. I knew I slept very restlessly, and my last female partner had told me I snore.

You don't really know yourself that you snore, because your asleep, and when you wake up you're not snoring.

Well, they found I wake up, many times very subtley, more than I even knew, and that I was rarely going into REM sleep. So they prescribed a CPAP.
