With blow up machine. Without machine. Heart working double shift overtime to keep oxygen up to my useless skull. |

Yep, that's quite a difference. How was it sleeping with the mask on?

I'm always the last to know these things but there's a place on fb advertising a sleep apnea test at home. Bangkok only.

My first port of call would be to get your hands on a cheap smart watch that measures blood oxygen and pulse while you're sleeping. That will give you a ball park starting figure. I have no idea where to get one in Thailand. |

I have no idea where to get one in Thailand. Go to a mall and find a MI store, they sell Xiaomi brand tech. I've had one of their sports watches for a couple of years, it does lots of sexy things and it tells the time - a couple of thou. |

I bought one but didn't realise you had to take your readings manually. Fat lot of help that is when you're asleep. |

I shall follow your progress closely, mostly I'd like to understand if your quality of sleep improves because I'm considering going down the same path. I think I'm happy with it. I tried some other gadgets from eBay. A strap that holds your jaw shut, a suction cap that pulls your tongue out, some fans you stick up your nose. That sort of thing. None of them worked. The only other thing I haven't tried is sewing Lego blocks into the back of your shirt so you sleep on your side. I know one chap that swears by it. Might be worth a try. My sleep will never be normal, shift work and the like. But I think I've added 10 years to my life by not starving my body of oxygen for 6 hours a day. And it's just a matter of slapping the mask on and forgetting about it. Soon enough you'll be asleep. |

I thought half of the time you didn't get any sleep as in on/off continuously? That would give you time for a measurement  |
