  • I know this one is pretty common, but after I graduated uni I was having recurring dreams for years, where I’d suddenly realise I was enrolled in one extra subject and I’d forgotten to attend any classes, and the exam is tomorrow, and it’s the last subject I need to complete my degree, and if I don’t pass then I won’t graduate.

    These were so real, and the panic and anxiety so intense. Every time I had this dream I would wake up convinced I was still enrolled in school, I would log into my school account only to confirm to myself that I have no current class enrolments, and indeed I did graduate already. It would still take me several hours to get that amount of anxiety out of my head.

    I was having this dream at least once a month for about 18 months.





  • Same. My AHI was 59. And during my sleep study there was on event where I didn’t breathe for more than a minute. My oxygen saturation got down to 81, that’s pretty scary. And that was likely happening to me every night for the last 15 years or more.

    Since starting on my CPAP two months ago, my life has massively improved. I wake up feeling great most mornings. I still sometimes feel tired in the afternoons, but not on the level as before.
