Well, crap. Or make that “cpap.”

Looks like I have obstructive sleep apnea. Just got the results from my sleep study earlier this week:

  • I stopped breathing 43.0 times per hour. Anything >30 is considered “severe.”
  • My oxygen level dipped to 61%. Should be 90% or higher.
  • The longest time I held my breath was 23.7 seconds.
  • There were 30.9 episodes of shallow breathing.

Looks like I’m gonna Darth-Vader it up with a “continuous positive air pressure” (CPAP) mask at night, like hubby does. I go in next Wednesday to be fitted for “the mask.”

I’m now going to see if pouting helps.
