My BF has sleep apnea and he has been really sick with a cold for the last 2 weeks. It is driving me crazy because it keeps ME up all night...which is not a good thing. It makes me really cranky, I resent him, I try to sleep on a 2 seater loveseat (my legs hangover the side), I go to work tired, I get angry and my emotions get completely out of whack. It makes him really upset because there is nothing he can do about it and it causes me to lose sleep and leave the bedroom.

With him being sick and having a stuffy nose, could that make the apnea worse?

He has no insurance, is overweight and doesn't want to use one of those big, loud machines. He and I are both going to lose weight together, but what else can he do? I don't want to have to sleep on the blow-up twin bed in the living room every night. We bought that just for this reason (his apnea).

Also, if this is the wrong area, I apologize if it needs to be moved...I didn't know where else to put it.
