Raydawg: Quick background first- a year after Desert Storm I left the Army at age 22. Went to college and majored in Polysomnography, the technical aspect of diagnosing and treating sleep disorders, as well as neurology and computer science. I spent my career building and running sleep disorders centers, building and running neurodiagnostic labs and most recently building and running collegiate programs in both fields. I was kind of a pioneer through each and every stage. Ironically, I was diagnosed with some sleep disorders myself including sleep apnea. I've been a faithful CPAP user since 1999. Faithful cause I had repeatedly seen the effects of untreated sleep apnea both acute emergencies as well as chronic problems. Faithful except for one night back in 2009 when I fell asleep in the recliner instead of in bed with my CPAP. Woke up at 5am. Woke up and, because of my training, knew exactly what happened. Managed to crawl upstairs somehow, woke my wife up and said, "Call 911. I've had a stroke".
