~Cuckoo...cuckoo...cuckoo....~


Are we there yet?

Is it holiday time?

Still a few hurdles to go and then it's break time

I got my sleep study results in the mail - just report not really an explanation of what it means - they have booked me in for February to go back to the ENT 

I have my own theories on fixing the issue

Briefly the study showed I slept for 4.9 hours with 66% sleep effectiveness, I was awake between 3am and 4am - I snored loudly and frequently when actually asleep - I woke up (or my brain did) 16 times an hour on average - and I only managed 0.4 hours of REM sleep....

No apneas but some hypopneas - he did say that I didn't have any REM sleep on my back which is when apneas are most likely to occur

He noted that my sleep 'architecture' was slightly abnormal in that it took me a loong time to get to sleep - which is what the delayed sleep article thingy that I posted before I had the study was basically saying, and I could relate to it instantly......
He has called it mild upper airway resistance syndrome.

I think it has everything to do with stress and a shit sleep pattern my body has formed.....
Would prefer to look into treating that before getting tonsils and all the rest chopped out.

I went in for a 5 min appointment with my GP Tuesday to get a script repeat and he mentioned that my thyroid 'was up a bit' in my last blood test - we will be discussing all of this on the 30th Dec.

All you really need is a couple of days in a chaise on a beach - with a boy toy in one hand and a pina colada in the other.
