I can remember lying in bed afraid to go to sleep for fear of my husband dying while he slept. He would stop breathing for 45 seconds or more and I would poke him in order to get him to take a breath of air and start snoring again.

His snoring became music to my ears.

However, we both knew he was at serious risk. Once diagnosed with sleep apnea and fitted with a cpap machine not only could I finally get a full night's sleep but he could also.

Sleep apnea is certainly life threatening and I don't care who is ripping who off...my husband needs it and we'll pay whatever we have to...his life is worth every penny...even if it has to come out of my pocket!
