JustBen . . . thanks! surprised me people replied to this.

i would probably would not be using the CPAP except for this reason:
my doc said that sleep apnea puts a person at risk for heart disease.

also, it took me a while to quit denying i'm unable to drive long distances anymore. (makes me feel old) people can appear awake with eyes open and really be sleeping. this is especially true for sleep apnea.

go get tested
