Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by RaggedAnn: How does lack of sleep affect academic performance in college? Effect on emotions? Social life?
How does a sleeping disorder like insomnia, or something like it that results in a less than ideal amount of sleep, affect one’s life in college – from academics (paying attention in class to missing class) to emotional life, to social life?
Personal experience and information more than welcome.
Thank you.

Check this link out. Though it doesn’t regard insomnia, it identifies the acadmic affects of lack of sleep in students.

I do hope you are able to find some rest!

My brother has been prescribed the CPAP and can’t tell much difference in his sleep. He is due to go for a checkup to the sleep clinic and doesn’t want to tell them this because he’s afraid they will make him go through another $1000 worth of sleep tests to adjust settings or something.

So if he can make the CPAP thing work better without having to tell the docs, it will help his health and checking account. Anybody know about this?

Thanks =D
