He was not 'gasping for air' as the descriptions so often state..he was merely stopping breathing (merely, lol) and then resuming with a kinda click in the back of his throat. I was laying there thinking, I'll be danged! That's why he's so tired all the time!


There is a condition where the brain fails to cause the lungs to breath. I dont know the name of the condition but if I run across it I will post it.

RE about being tired, Yes it sounds like he has a sleep problem and might not be getting enough oxygen in his blood while sleeping. I know I can be in bed an hour ot two less when I use my CPAP. It comes in handy laying ther, wanting some PT but not getting any. With the CPAP, I can stay up late and later, crash, go to sleep fast and wake up fairly rested. It is difficult to lay next to someone, wanting a romantic connection and being ignored or pushed away.

However, when he rolled onto his side, the noises stopped. So then I wasn't sure.

That is common. When you lay on your back, it causes more breathing problems. There is a night shirt with pockets on the back you put tennis balls in to make laying on your back uncomfortable.

The sleep study has you lay on each side, back, and other positions to determine the extent of problems each position causes. From what I know, it takes more blower pressure when people sleep on their back to overcome breathing problems and keep blood oxygen levels up where they should be.

He reached out and put his hand on mine;......I relate this only to illustrate how badly he hates to be touched while sleeping

I hope his horniess level is about to switch on.

I know I am changing your reason for posting this information, but he is opposite me. Touch me any place, please. Or was that a way you HDW make us SSH feel worse? Just kidding HP. I know you are a sweetie, not a mean bone in your body, except for those kick azzz shoes you have. Any more sleep questions.
