A few members of my family have sleep apnea, but my father has it acutely in particular. About 5 years ago, he did the overnight sleep study... he tested positive for it and his doctor later assigned him some breathing exercises and IIRC, a light sedative. After a few more tests and tweaks, it was diagnosed that he was out of any sort of danger zone. As for trwi's comment, yah, I could never do the test. I am an exceptionally light sleeper - you'd have to sedate me to get me to fall asleep with anything foreign attached to my body. I can barely get to sleep how it is. And sedation would ruin the test, I assume. I don't snore at all - I am just listless once I fall asleep. Good luck, though, with the sleep apnea treatment. Apnea can be a pretty serious thing without treatment. I'm glad you were diagnosed correctly.
