That's a possibility, because I'm not the typical obstructive sleep apnea patient. I'm not overweight, for example. I also have some episodes of central sleep apnea. That is, I sometimes stop breathing while I'm awake. This hasn't bothered me much since I've been on sinemet full-time. Interesting.

I still use a continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) machine to keep me breathing during sleep. It's actually a wonderful device--simple and effective, once one gets used to it. I sometimes use it during the day when I have a headache because it actually helps.
