Sleep study results

Well I went in for my sleep study results yesterday afternoon. What I found out was shocking. I have moderate to severe sleep apnea. I quit breathing 160 times in a matter of about 4 hours of sleep. I also woke up ALOT during the night. It mostly happened in REM sleep when I was dreaming. That was the first night that I slept there. The second night that I slept there I slept on the CPAP machine so they could compare results. I hardly quit breathing on it and I stayed asleep the whole time. They also did a test on my lungs to check them out and the doctor said my lungs look good actually! That was awesome to hear since I have been smoking for 12+ years or something like that. I was surprised! That was a good enough reason to quit smoking knowing I still have good lungs. Anyways, so they recommend that I sleep on a CPAP machine and at night and even during naps. I dont' have to but they recommend it. I have a friend who sleeps on it and she said she has unbelievable energy and said after a while you won't be able to sleep without it. I haven't done it yet but I guess I might as well. UGH! LOL The doctor said the sleep apnea should be gone by the time I lose a good amount of weight from the surgery. We'll see!!
