Snore bore

I had to go to hospital yesterday to collect a sleep monitor.

As I’ve got older I’ve started snoring - very loudly, according to my wife - so when I mentioned it to my doctor a few months ago I did so thinking he might be able to suggest a simple solution, short of actual surgery.

Instead the conversation turned to sleep apnea, which is described as a ‘condition where breathing stops or becomes shallow during sleep, disrupting sleep and potentially leading to serious health problems’.

Hence the sleep monitor which is designed to check someone's breathing when they’re asleep. I had to wear it last night and this morning I returned it to the hospital for analysis.

I’ll keep you posted … if I can stay awake.
