???

I've been having bouts of insomnia more often lately, and this night
in description i had been unable to sleep for about 38 hours...

The BF had come home late and I was trying yet again to sleep. It was
about 3 am when i turned out the light.

I managed to doze off and then was awakened later by something heavy
on the bed. It moved slowly up the bed.

i figured it was Imp, since he's the biggest and that's his style.
But as he moved up the bed i realized he was a lot bigger and heavier
than usual.

I rolled over and opened my eyes to see the BF on his hands and knees
and he was kneading the bed beside me. He let out a meow, perfectly
imitating the cat meow declaring that i move over.

Even though I was half awake, it was so accurate and hilarious at the
same time i burst out laughing.

sheesh...

Maybe you need the ubiquitous C-pap machine everyone seems to be getting.

I would recommend talking to your doctor about whether or not you need to
be tested for sleep apnea. The effects go beyond merely being tired; the
elevated stress on the body, and the resulting high level of stress
hormones, makes a person with untreated apnea much more likely to develop
diabetes, strokes, and heart disease.

As far as I know, insomnia is not a common symptom of sleep apnea. In
fact, you tend to sleep *more* because you're so tired. One symptom I've
heard a lot about from people is that you fall asleep the second your
head hits the pillow. So if you had sleep apnea, you might think you're
sleeping a lot, but the quality of the sleep is very poor. If you're
suffering from insomnia a lot, my first thought would not be sleep apnea.
It could be stress, or there could be a biological reason for it. I would
get it checked out if it doesn't improve soon!

I had a sleep study done back in January and I'm STILL waiting for the
results...

i hardly slept at all during the test, had lots of restlessness. I
think i might have restless leg syndrome, cause i have urges to kick
or move my legs a lot.

I only fell asleep for a little bit during the test, so i don't even
know if i had any apnea if any.
