dying in your sleep is always held up as the gold standard for best ways to die anyways.

If diagnosed with sleep apnea. Regardless of rough ridin' cost this is the only thing i am willing to use. I am not lugging around a rough ridin' machine every time i go on vacation or some crap. I would rather die in my sleep.



WTF is that thing?

Not if it's having a massive heart attack or choking to death.

most ways of dying seem like they'd wake you up, and then you've ruined the whole thing.  good points.

That dream/poltergeist encounter was pretty terrifying. If I had started to actually die I don't think it would have been pleasant.

I'd still opt to try for the surgery.

I am amazed at the number of people in gE with sleep apnea. Percentage wise, out of consistent posters, it has to be 15%. Is that normal for the general population?


Gonna win 'em all!

It actually makes me believe there are a lot less great looking fresh smelling people in here.

You guys should just have the surgery three times.   Boom!  Guaranteed to work.

Sleep study results came back - average 14 breathing stoppages an hour. Going to see a sleep Dr. for recommendations to address. Are there drugs alone or is this all a smokescreen for the inevitable Vader Sleep Mask?

Krocodil seems like it might open up some breathing passages.

Not one time use and you probably haven't seen them since they're still in prototype phase and don't release until 2017...

Not so with Airing. Each Airing device is designed for one night’s use only and is recyclable.

And I'd seen the articles on them of course, not the physical device.

Weird...there's an article out there that stated that the nose pieces or whatnot were disposable but the actual apparatus could be recharged...let me see if I can find it!

I am friends with a guy who has a new invention to be used with the machine. It is a small device that will make this guy a multi-millionaire. All of you guys will be using this thing within 5 years. When you start using it, just remember that dobber's friend invented it and made your life better.

Went back in again for another in-lab sleep study (after doing the in-house sleep study and one in-lab study) and they said that it's not actually sleep apnea now.

William Wallace disagrees!
The real William Wallace was hung by the neck until almost dead, cut down, castrated, eviscerated (with his entrails being burned in front of him while he clung to life), then finally beheaded, drawn, and quartered.

Pretty sure he would have preferred going out mid-nap.
