British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association

Blueflash, sorry I can't help with this as I don't live in the UK and therefore don't know UK law. Try sending your request by pm to Nuneatonman37 or Mac if you don't get a reply soon on the forum.

Alsacienne: does your sleep apnea affect you in the day anymore, or is CPAP cured tiredness?

I'd just like to hear others views on how they carry on their life after CPAP, rather then what laws apply to condition

Whilst I was on antidepressant medicine a few years back, my daytime sleepiness was mega and really impacted on my life. Now off these meds since 5 years, and haven't looked back. However, there are still times when I get very tired during the daytime and need a nap but usually due to 'natural causes' .... too good a lunch, rebound after a period of stress or travelling involving irregular hours. Boredom is a major factor for sleepiness ... but then sometimes a good sleep is something to be enjoyed!

[quote="Nuneatonman37"]Do you have a sd card in the machine ???

Can you have a look at the data for me if I get it off my SD card?

Hi Chattabob

I also have ResScan but have also discovered in other forums whist chasing down the links for ResScan, a freely available program called Sleepyhead.
It is still in development. It has been written by an apnoea sufferer and is a bit more flexible the ResScan in that it will read directly from the SD card or from a folder on disk. It also runs on Mac's and UNIX/Linux. I'm using it on both XP and Ubuntu. I think it has the makings of a realy useful product.
