Ever wake up from a nap, look at the clock, and wonder if it's morning or night?

Yes, it is that thing where you stop breathing.....and it's really scary to be the other person in the bed!!!
I was wondering that too. I've heard of it before though, when people stop breathing in their sleep. Apparently my boyfriend is the kind of person likely to suffer from this. (In his case because he's over weight and smokes). Is this right or is it something completely different?
i LOVE naps. i like that disoriented feeling

It's not caused by smoking or being overweight. But if he already suffers from it, maybe those things make it worse?

It's not a real nap unless you wake up with no idea of where, who or when you are.:p
I once called my work all in a panic, telling them that I would be an hour late, only to find that it was 7pm, not am. They were just as confused as I was.

of it", it is pretty sweet!
Don't worry.....I'd shake you or something if you didn't start breathing again!!!!! You know that!!!!
How do you find out if you have sleep apnea? I pretty much wake up every hour or so all the time. Not currently sleeping w/ anyone who could check for me either.
Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"
Some words when spoken...can't be taken back.

Here is some info for you. I looked into it because my guy suffers from it so I wanted to know more about it......
The Greek word "apnea" literally means "without breath." There are three types of apnea: obstructive, central, and mixed; of the three, obstructive is the most common. Despite the difference in the root cause of each type, in all three, people with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times during the night and often for a minute or longer.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is caused by a blockage of the airway, usually when the soft tissue in the rear of the throat collapses and closes during sleep. In central sleep apnea, the airway is not blocked but the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe. Mixed apnea, as the name implies, is a combination of the two. With each apnea event, the brain briefly arouses people with sleep apnea in order for them to resume breathing, but consequently sleep is extremely fragmented and of poor quality.
Sleep apnea is very common, as common as adult diabetes, and affects more than twelve million Americans, according to the National Institutes of Health. Risk factors include being male, overweight, and over the age of forty, but sleep apnea can strike anyone at any age, even children. Yet still because of the lack of awareness by the public and healthcare professionals, the vast majority remain undiagnosed and therefore untreated, despite the fact that this serious disorder can have significant consequences.
Untreated, sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain and headaches. Moreover, untreated sleep apnea may be responsible for job impairment and motor vehicle crashes. Fortunately, sleep apnea can be diagnosed and treated.

If you don't have a bed partner that could let you know, the best thing you could do is go to your doctor and tell him/her about the problems you're having. If he/she think you need to be checked, they may send you to a sleep clinic where you would be observed sleeping and then a diagnosis would be made and treatment prescribed. It can be a life threatening condition, so get checked if you're really concerned.
