My husband takes Tylenol PM everynight to sleep?
He has been doing this for several years. I’d say at least 10 years. Is this dangerous? Could this be the reasoning for his obnoxious snoring and jumping through the night? Could this be why he has to take a 2 hour nap after work?
I agree with David, this sounds like sleep apnea to me. The snoring is a tip off.
Listen to him some night.
Does he stop breathing and then suddenly snort loudly and move around a bit? Does he do it over and over??
Thats sleep apnea.
When you wake up just enough to start breathing again, over and over, all night long, your rest is never very good. You end up falling asleep when ever you sit quietly for a few minutes, at the computer, at a red light(I did this often) while watching tv or reading.
It can also cause high blood pressure that is not treatable with drugs.
I have it and I do not agree with David on the weight thing.
While some sleep apnea sufferers ARE overweight, how do you explain the ones who are not??
I am overweight, my sister in law is clearly skinny and we both do not smoke, and we both have sleep apnea…
Your husband needs to see a doctor to discuss a night at a sleep clinic to be evaluated properly.
When I did that, it was discovered that I stopped breathing 60-70 times an hour. Each time I would snort, rouse myself and then fall back to sleep, but never knowing that I did this since you do not become fully awake but you also never get a good nights sleep.
The gear you wear to help with this is called a CPAP machine and takes a bit to get used to but I have had mine for over 10 years and cannot sleep without it.
The medical community takes this very seriously.
