Hi, as the title says.
Im currently in the mines in QLD. Finally going in to get a sleep study. Heard from people on my mine site, that being diagnosed with sleep apnea could put as a medium/high risk medical rating, which prettty much means seeya later. Just wanna know if theres hope for me on other mine sites, if I can get help with the sleep apnea.
Any help will be appreciated. Cheers.
Hey mate! I’m pretty sure I have sleep apnea or something close, my missus said I routinely stop breathing and then jolt myself awake. She will barely sleep in the same house as me, let alone the same room because I snored so loud.
Never did the sleep assessment thing, but we tried one of those mouthguard, snoring jobs and it changed my life! Missus said the snoring stopped basically 100%, and I feel way better now, much more energy, like I am actually getting proper sleep.
You get them at chemists etc, but they are $100 or more. She got some internet one for ~$60 or so, possibly SnoreX which is good. We since tried the $20 eBay ones and they are basically the same thing, good also.
Can’t hurt to give it a try!
Good luck!
