All was quiet until we became aware of this guys breathing getting
faster and faster and faster - then it stopped.
He didnt breathe for what seemed a hell of a long time and then
his body noisily convulsed as his lungs desperately sought air.

Hmmmm. Are you /sure/ that was a sleep problme? ;-)

Taking a moment's reflection, Just zis Guy, you know? mused:

Probably some form of sleep apnea.

"apnoea" seems to be the UK spelling. A friend of mine found that
getting treatment for it has transformed his life. He has a lot more
energy, and is losing weight.

I was in a long ride a few months ago and found myself in a group that
turned out to be all doctors, two of whom were specialists in sleep
apnoea .
Nabil Ali had brought not one but two windcheetahs, which made an
impression on me since I rode a 20+ year old Audax bike which is my
best.

I would say that it is a measure of the effectiveness of the treatment
that the patients seem always to use it, inspite of it looking
uncomfortable. It involves wearing a machine that blows air up your
nose whenever
you breathe in while asleep.
People with this problem are almost always overweight.

Yes, it is. My aunt's husband suffered from it. Getting treatment for
it made a very large difference in his health.

I've long established by decades of experiments that if I gain a
little bit of weight I snore more, if I lose a little I snore less. My
wife agreed to participate in these experiments. She kicks me awake
when I snore.

I wonder if I'd stop snoring if I reduced my weight to what it was in
the old days when I didn't snore?

And this is completely unrelated to the source of the weight gain,
viz: BEER :-)
