Any sleep tips for me? Tonsils are huge and cause me to snore and stop breathing, surgery soon…?

Posted by admin on August 27 2010 2 Commented

I am in college and I have huge tonsils that basically cause me to have sleep apnea. I had a sleep study and I stopped breathing and woke up 12 times within 5 hours and never went into stage 4 sleep. I don’t sleep well at all, and when I wake up I feel like I didn’t get any sleep. I have slept through my 8 am class for 4 weeks now! I’m blessed that it doesn’t have an attendance requirement! But it is still a problem. My doctor prescribed me Lunesta which is helping a little bit but still not getting me out of bed in the morning. I am literally so tired I can’t move and feel like a dead person when I wake up. Any suggestions?

and by the way I go to bed around 9:30-10 every night so im not staying up late….

thank you!
forgot to add this, i am getting my tonsils out on november 24th… what can i do until then to get adequate rest and be able to get up in the morning?

if they get 2 big, then u should ask ur doc 2 have them removed and see what he thinks.it took me about 2 weeks 2 recover, but it is worth it. hurts a little but get a lot of rest and u will be fine

    basically what you should do is get them removed. this is what happened to me. it took me 2 weeks to recover so you would have to think about that.
