Do you have trouble sleeping? Do you wake up tired or get exhausted in the afternoon? Does your spouse complain about your snoring and sometimes sleep in another room? If so you quite possibly have sleep apnea like me. I didnít think it was that big of a deal, but my wife was complaining that she wasnít sleeping well because of how loud I was snoring and asked me to see the doctor to see if there was anything that could be done. So I asked my doctor and she referred me to Atlantic Sleep Apnea Services for testing. It was easy and painless to do; the hardest part was manning up to see someone. When I went back and was given the test results it was troublesome. The test revealed how many times an hour I stopped breathing. 51 times an hour!! And I wondered why I couldnít drive as a passenger in a car for more than ten minutes without falling asleep.

I then got fitted for a sleep machine and tried it out for 30 days, what a difference! It took about a week to get used to sleeping with the mask on, but wow, even after the first night the difference it made was remarkable. My wife is a lot happier as well, no more elbowing me or sleeping in another room to get rested. I donít go anywhere without my machine, I even take it camping. If you have any of the problems that I talked about, get referred and have it checked out, you will be taking a step in the right direction. And if your partner is keeping you awake get them tested it will change the way you sleep forever.

Two years ago, I was accused of keeping the whole neighborhood awake at night with my buzz saw snoring. Today, I am probably the quietest healthiest sleeper on the block thanks to Atlantic Sleep Apnea of Lr. Sackville. A friend suggested I check them out and I found a very professional, caring, helpful staff who were there for ME!

At first, it took me about 8 months to get started due to other medical problems, but with the help, caring and encouragement I received from the staff at Atlantic Sleep Apnea, we kept at it until now - and for the last year, I use the CPAP system 6-7 nights per week with excellent results. Even my poor suffering wife gets a good night sleep. My breathing has improved greatly and I have more energy. Even my attitude has changed for the better. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs this type of help to talk to the helpful staff at Atlantic Sleep Apnea. You'll see what service, professionalism and caring really means.

Thank you Atlantic Sleep Apnea,

My name is Sherri Dawn, I am a 33 year old woman who suffers from sleep apnea. I have been on a sleep apnea machine for 8 years. When I first found out that I had sleep apnea, I was tired all the time. Since I was put on the machine I have felt like a new person. I also suffer from asthma and bronchitis. I moved to Truro a year and a half ago and met up with Atlantic Sleep Apnea Services.I have had the best service from Trish, Helen and Joanne that a person could have!! They are always on the ball to help me feel really good with my machine.They also have the best equipment a person can ask for. Trish always makes a person smile and laugh and makes sure I always have another appointment. Helen always greets her clients with a smile on her face and makes sure their equipment is working perfectly for them before leaving the office. Trish, Helen and Joanne are always like "family" and I love to know them.

Your client always, Sherri Dawn

Before I went to Atlantic Sleep Apnea, I couldn't sleep more than 2-4 hours a night.  I had a lot of arm and leg movement while sleeping that I didn't realize was happening.  My legs and back ached, I didn't have a lot of energy and I was taking around 6 tylenols a day.  I was very tired at work because of this.  My doctor sent me to get tested for sleep apnea.

Quickly I was diagnosed at 50 on the scale used, which was a serious condition.  I was given a machine to try at home and after a week and a few adjustments I was starting to feel better.  I could sleep longer and wasn't as tired through the day.  A month later, I'm sleeping and feeling better and now realize how much this was affecting my life.  Thanks to the girls at Atlantic Sleep Apnea, I'm doing much better.
