I'm so glad I shared my sleep disorder with my caring and understanding friends...
You have met us, right?
'War Stories'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Shared it? Half the people here already knew. t looks at thread title
Hey, now -- I suggested the helper monkey out of pure goodhearted caring for Sean's health. If he stopped breathing for long enough, badness would ensue. The monkey would prevent badness by poking Sean to roll over or wake up if he stopped breathing for too long.
Man. I bet Mother Theresa's suggestions weren't met with derision....
Hee!

How often did Mother Theresa recommend helper monkeys?
Who poke people with sticks, no less.
How often did Mother Theresa recommend helper monkeys?
Oh, all the time! Can't do housework because of leprosy-related missing limbs? Helper monkey! Can't remember to take your malaria medication? Helper monkey! Members of higher castes than your own sneer at you? Helper monkey = guaranteed poop-flinger.
Sadly I've never shared a bed with any Buffistas.
I have slept in the same bed as Sean---in Anne W's nerd hole.
On a serious note, have you looked into having a sleep study done, Sean? A friend had pretty much the same symptoms as you describe. He had a sleep study, and they prescribed a CPAP machine. They said that if he didn't use it, he would die of a heart attack in his forties. I don't know about that, but from what I hear, he's much happier now and nicer to be around. My uncle wasn't quite as bad, although bad enough, but now that he has a CPAP machine, he no longer falls asleep at the dining room table. I know that these studies aren't cheap, but they're mostly covered by insurance if you have it, and perhaps worthwhile even if you don't. I know it's not a helper monkey...
Heh. My dad has a CPAP, which did wonders. He looks like a character out of Pigs in Space when he has it on. Which I am at pains to mention. Frequently. Piiiigs Iiiiinn Spaaaace!
