I feel like a zombie and my bed is my enemy. I've been there. The night before my sleep study my wife was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. It turned out that she was alright, but I was a wreck. I was a wreck before that, too. Stressed out and so full of anxiety i was seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist. There have been cases of people going insane because their sleep apnea was preventing them from getting sleep of any quality. That was two years ago. I feel like a different person now. It was hard for me to adapt to CPAP therapy but I stuck with it and the only regret I have is that I didn't start 30 years ago when my chronic headaches started. It was a great surprise to have them fade away one I got my CPAP machine. The therapy helped a lot, too.
