That has happened to me apparently.
Tourette's has to nudge me to get me to start breathing again. It's a good job I'm worth fuck all otherwise she might be tempted to leave me be...

Can't you get a little thingy from your doctor that beeps when you stop breathing?

I do this thing where I have a nightmare and then I wake up and realise I'm not breathing
And I have to make gasping sounds to start breathing again.
Then I say something really odd like "IT'S ON ME! THE PLUG IS ON ME!"
That's something to do with apnoea and oxygen or summat.
I should warn the bf about it really...

Nooo, it only happensif I lie on my back for a long time
And I've pretty much trained myself not to do that.
So it's not likely to happen very often, and therefore I'm almost completely normal :)

Mrs al's dad has that
he sleeps with a facemask attached to a pump to keep him breathing all night, it works really well, previously he basically didn't sleep for about 10 years or so, now he's fine.

It's an option, apparently.
But not before all other options have been explored.
