Ward has sleep apnea. He did the sleep study at home with a machine the doctor had and came up with a diagnosis of severe sleep apnea. He sleeps soooo bad, he wanders all night and adding the drinking sometimes he gets in trouble, like falling.
He got a CPAP machine and he hates it so we are looking into surgery. This is something he HAS to fix for his own health. And like Myles...I don't attribute it to drinking.
It took me forever to get him to address it. He puts it off as me making a big thing out of nothing. I have to admit when his study came back as "severe" I had a moment of glee!
I doubt he ever would have gone for the hospital study...check into the possiblity of an at home one and then be prepared to nip at his heels for a while.
