What do you expect to happen?
getting diagnosed with sleep apnea allowed for treatment, which has led to much better sleep...although the damage was done...over a period a year or so, I accumulated the equivalent of about four months or so at 18,000 feet altitude. On average, I stopped breathing more than 20 times an hour, and wouldn't start again until blood oxygen dropped dangerously low. The lack of decent sleep, as well as the low blood-oxygen levels apparently was one of the major drivers behind the onset of dementia and related cognitive issues, including memory and attention deficits.
I started using a BiPAP machine, lost about 40 pounds, and made changes to diet and lifestyle, which in addition to a couple of drugs to help sleep, has vastly improved things. But memory, etc., isn't coming back, my doctors tell me. All I can do is fight to keep the progression slow...
From what the GP said I expect they will recommend a sleep study and sleep in separate beds which the wife is against and maybe suggest I take melatonin. I've done 3 sleep studies in the past and couldn't get to sleep in all 3 so they were a waste of time.
Mine is a bit more complicated, I act out dreams in my sleep and I'm worried about hurting the Mrs. My doctor said it's called sleep REM disorder. I've done it since I was a kid but it only happened once or twice a year. The last couple of months it has been happening 2 or 3 times a week. The weird thing is I think the dog can tell when it's going to happen, she usually doesn't stay on the bed on the nights it happens.
sorry to hear that. Best of luck.
Something stronger than melatonin might be called for...

That sucks but at least you have tools to hopefully keep the progression as slow as the rest ofus.
I'm not surprised that your dog is that sensitive given how well support dogs can detect all sorts of things.
I had to look it up REM Sleep Behavior Disorder: What It Is, Symptoms & Treatment - I'm not sure why they want to repeat a failed sleep study but hopefully one of the drugs mentioned in that article will help.

I don't know, but I remember a guy from work who told me that he tried to be a plumber, but he said it was too hard. I can sort of understand why.
The first psychological issues that I accepted as important I experienced at about 46 yrs.old. I would suddenly get upset and become very aggressive. It was road rage without the road...Anyway, my dog could tell before hand when these changes in my temperment were about to happen. The dog would show signs of fear and move away from me and hide. Maybe it was a change in my breathing pattern. I don't know what signals the dog was picking up.
I was right to be terrified.
Indeedly doo.
I'm a fan of radishes myself. I like the spicy ones the best. Something I bite that bites me back a little.
