I just thought of something and it sucks!

I am an over the road truck driver. I have been off work since Aug. 8th, because I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and had to go thru the medical procedures. But now since I able to go back to, I won't be able watch the live broadcast of the hearings! I can listen them on XM, but it won't be the same!

If you can get the condensed version at the end of the day, it's usually good enough to keep you up-to-date. Glad you are able to get back on the road.

It kills way more people than we know. Lots of people just have a heart attack or stroke out in their sleep from lack of oxygen.

I got me CPAP 9 years ago and it changed my life. I went from a 44 year old man feeling like a 64 year old to feeling young again.

I have not slept a night without it since. Have a small model for travel and even a battery adapter for a car battery when I go to deer camp.

I actually prefer listening to procedural events on the radio to watching on TV. I find I am not distracted by visuals and can concentrate on what is being said.
