When my doctor sent me for a sleep study on December 23, 1997 for heavy snoring and having a hard time keeping awake when driving, plus I liked to sleep in the evenings, I thought it was a joke and waste of insurance money to have all these electrodes fitted to me. I use a Sullivan V plus with a mirage mask and the machine does work wonders for me, and I have no problems getting used to it, but I was wondering should I have an operation to get rid of my snoring, then I won't have to use the machine ? besides it is noisey and cleaning the tubes and the mask every day/weekly is a pain in the but. any suggestions
