Inefficient Sleep





The contraption to gather data on my sleep.


The results? I have minor sleep apnea. Not a surprise for those of you who have tried to sleep in the same room as me. What is a surprise is that I am out of REM sleep 45% of the evening. Even though I am not "staring at the walls like an insomniac" awake, my sleep is fitful and not recharging my energy batteries. I go into sleep school this upcoming to learn what possible options I might choose for addressing this medical issue.
