This is soooo fucking pathetic. I never heard of any guy from the golden/silver/80s/90s eras ever needing this shit, but somehow now every fridge-shaped competitor has to weigh 300 in the off-season and requires one of these to not die. Bodybuilding is supposed to be about health and looking good, ffs…

ehh I think most of the women i've slept with would have said something
they all giggle when they tell me I talk in my sleep though

only carbtards need that

>>77218159
COMPETITIVE bodybuilding has literally never been about health.

>>77218159
A lot of golden era bodybuilders trained naturally most of the time and were on gear for 3 months before the competition. They were just buff skinny dudes. Now every teenager thinks that under 90kg bodymass is a dyel.

>>77218092
Oh no.
>Jogs a couple miles per week and magically goes away.

Yeah I think I have this, I feel exhausted and no energy all the time. Can barely focus at all. Can you get one without a doctor?

>>77218461
its actually shocking to me how hard it is to get without a sleep study. I refuse to do a sleep study because I know myself and there is no way I would actually fall asleep and it would be torture to just lay there all fucking night and then I will get anxiety about not sleeping and that I will have to come back etc etc. Not gonna go through all that bullshit

Im sure its possible but its certainly not easy. Best bet might unironically buy a used one from facebook market

>>77218499
Have you considered an at home sleep study?

he's a big guy

>>77218092
I have a theory that sleep apnea isn't a thing for most people, excluding the morbidly obese and its actually caused because people use too thick of pillows instead of laying flat. Big apnea wants your money.

>>77218499
Modern sleep studies are putting a little device in your finger and sleeping in your own bed.

Quit being a pussy

>>77218159
Nobody in the 70s knew about sleep apnea.
This is like saying nobody in the year 300 BC ever got diagnosed with cancer. Idiot.
Also if somebody had some medical condition in the 70s they didnt go the internet and announce it to the world to get more clicks

>>77218457
sleep apnea has nothing to do with ability to do cardio, imbecile.

>>77218499
You dont need to fully fall asleep during a sleep study. As your body relaxes and get closer to falling asleep your breathing already starts to slow down and you can get apnic before you even fall asleep. I dont think I slept more than 20 min the whole night of my sleep study.

>>77218548
I have a theory you are an idiot. But its not a theory.

>>77218499

Like the other anon said, they just put a little device on your finger and you can sleep at home. You only need six hours of sleep recording time and it doesn't have to be continuous, it can be 3 hours, wake piss tossle, 3 more hours, and its enough data.

It's easy pussy

>>77218445
This is probably one of the dumbest posts on this website right now

>>77218603
Look up what cardio does to sleep apnea before talking with that skin tone.

>>77218445
are you fucking stupid? or just don't know what the "golden era" is

My gf tells me I sound like I'm choking whenever I'm snoring loudly so I'm pretty sure I have this. Funny enough I only got this bad after getting fatter and seem to have better quality sleep if I do cardio

>>77218092
My gf has a big ass and i do CPLAP

>>77218092
i wish i got my cpap sooner.
would have solved so many things i fucked up when i was a retarded kid

>>77218461
if youre in the eu, cpapstore eu. might actually allso ship to usa
otherwise there should be plenty of people selling it used

>>77218548
most cases are because of obesity for sure, peoples noses clogging up and then mouthbreathing during sleep. I think a big issue is also the general soft western diet, we gnawed on bones and hard fibers for most of humanity giving us good jaw muscles and a well developed jaw and wide palate in general. recessed jaw and deformed mandibular development is associated with non-obesity related sleep apnea

Can a Samsung Smartwatch diagnose this

>>77220151
Kinda

Still 60-80% within refence of a brainwave headband.

Its not that hard to look for you already got the watch
There should be a lot of heartrate spikes, and a lot of random wakeness/sleep phase change spikes.

>>77218092
I have one. Sleep 7 hours solid every night and feel so rested. I even started getting up at 530am to hit the gym before my 12hr shifts cause im good to go

>>77218511
at home is pretty much the default nowadays. Non intrusive as well.
>source
Just had one

>>77218511
At this point you get a REM headband, or you get a bunch of sensors that go to a waistband where you then get O2 and blood pressure from a finger clipon.

>>77220151
My Apple Watch never gave me the OSA warning but i just took an at home sleep test and have 13 ASI. I have bags under my eyes and have been tired through the day for a while now, had thought maybe the bags were genetic lol but im probably genuinely sleep deprived at all times. Ordered an autoset airsense and a nose pillow mask for $500, waiting on it to arrive.

>>77218602
>nobody knew in the 70s
Yes, they did. They just didn’t have cpap as a treatment until 1981.

>tldr
>fat people cope
lose weight direct correlation 99% all sleep apnea conditions get better with weight loss.
even if it isn't cured, it gets better with weight loss.
most people can outright be cured with just weight loss.
also check your mattress firmness, if you sit down on the bed and it sinks more than half an inch, your bed is too soft.
your chest caving in during sleep from the primary bulk of weight being the center of the chest restricts breathing further.

I'm on my 3rd night using a CPAP with a small nasal mask. I'm 36 and pretty sure I've had sleep apnea since at least middle school since I've always snored horribly. Weight didn't matter, even at my most fit I snored horribly and probably had it pretty severe.

Never thought my sleep was inherently fucked and that I felt normal. Holy shit was I wrong. I was just able to essentially power through horrible sleep my whole life but the last year it got bad.

I still managed to get up at 6am to go to the gym before work and function.

Now with the mask, I realize I was living life on hard mode. It was like fighting with 2 hands tied behind my back.

3 nights in and I can't believe how much better I feel waking up and throughout the day both physically and mentally. Its actually life changing. Again only 3 days in and it's insane how different I feel. Got up at 630am today without an alarm, not the least bit groggy. I really didn't understand that this is what you're supposed to feel like.

If you snore or just don't feel refreshed on waking, pay the $200 for a home test. I really hate that I wasted so many years living sleep deprived because it affects fucking everything.

>Weight didn't matter
sure fatty

I got mine 2 months ago and I cannot for the life of me fall asleep with one. The air tastes like awful plastic that is being pushed in your mouth all night. Not one night have i managed to sleep with it. how people do it is beyond me

>>77221635
Try a nasal only mask and then use mouth tape. It does feel weird and you may feel like you're not breathing but are. Do big deep breaths and just watch TV in bed with it on for a bit.

>>77218092
It's literally impossible for me to fall asleep with a CPAP machine that shit is a torture device. If you give yourself sleep apnea RIP bozo you just fucked up your life completely.

Studies show less than 10%
