Personally I think he has been angling to have me do one for a while and Jen has wanted me to have this done as well so I finally relented.  I don&#8217;t think that I showed too many signs of sleep apnea but I do snore, Jen said I stop breathing at night, and during the day I find that I&#8217;m tired enough that so some nights I can go to bed at the same time as the kids.  By the time the study came along I was kind of wishing they would find something to explain my tiredness.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll spare you the details of the actual study but it turns out there isn&#8217;t anything wrong with my sleep.  I do stop breathing at night but apparently it&#8217;s only one time more per hour then what they consider normal.  Something like 5 times an hour is ok and I averaged 6 for the four hours of sleep I managed to get.<\/p>\n<p>Since they didn&#8217;t find anything one of the strategies the doctor suggested to combat the tiredness was to make sure I wake up at the same time every day, including weekends.  Unfortunately for me I go swim before work some days which means I&#8217;m getting up early those days and the days I&#8217;m not swimming I need to get up early as well.<\/p>\n<p>As a result it looks like I&#8217;m going to have some free time to fill and this morning I used it to get the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mceachernfamily.com\/2008\/nola\/index.html\">pictures from our New Orleans<\/a> trip together and posted to site.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of weeks ago I had a sleep study done at the advice of my neurologist.
