Bad sleep 'dramatically' alters body
Here's a little PSA:<p>If you have:<p>* High blood pressure<p>* Depressive or angry episodes<p>* Wake up tired no matter how long you've slept<p>* Loud snoring<p>Take a sleep study. You may have obstructive sleep apnea.<p>I got it badly enough that sleeping for 14-15 hours daily did nothing for me. I didn't realise it at the time but I was on track to die, tired, at about 50.<p>Today I sleep with a little CPAP machine that keeps my throat open by pumping air into my mouth. It's changed my life enormously.
