Default The importance of sleep

In addition to my vestibular problems, dizziness and nystagmus issues, I also have sleep issues. I've had issues falling asleep (insomnia) and breathing through my nose my entire life. I participated in an overnight sleep study two months ago and they determined that I might have mild sleep apnea. I only slept for 2hrs, so the sample size is small.( I normally get more than 2hrs of sleep. However, all the equipment annoyed me)

I am a lean 5',10" 155 lbs so this isn't a weight issue.

Anyways if any of you suspect you might have a sleep disorder, I would highly encourage you to see your doctor. You never know but it might help you recovery wise.

I am going to rent a CPAP sometime in the near future. I'll report back later on. Last night I tried Breathe Right Strips and noticed a modest improvement.
