My husband and I have been married for only a few months. Everything was wonderful until he developed sleep apnea. The snoring had become so loud and disrupted my sleep so often that I started wearing earplugs to bed every night. That worked for a few weeks and a got a little more sleep and then the earplugs quit working. I was exhausted from all the snoring and had to start sleeping on the sofa just to get some rest every night. It was completely awful -- he was even keeping our dog awake all night. I knew it sounded horrible to me, and I could just imagine what it was like for the dog, with its acute sense of hearing.
With the dog and I becoming more and more sleep deprived, I decided to get my husband to see a doctor. He was more then happy to oblige my suggestion. The doctor diagnosed him with sleep apnea and gave him a CPAP machine. I then thought the machine would be a sleep apnea treatment. I could finally get some much needed rest with my husband, so I thought. The CPAP machine was noisy and my husband had a hard time sleeping with the mask on his face. This was just not working for either of us. I had to find a cure that would work for both of us.
