Well, just recently, I underwent the full blown test. I got wired for sound (quadrophonic, of course!). The technician who wired me and monitored me must've been taught by the Marquis du Sade.

The results of this test were relayed to me this Sunday. It appears that my O2 saturation dropped to 70% during the course of the test. Not a good thing.

The harder your ticker works, the less sleep you get, which results in lower O2 saturation ... can you see a pattern developing here?As of today, I have retired Snuffleupagus
and replaced him with Snuffy II

The difference between the two is like comparing a normally carbureted engine with a fully-blown, nitrous injected hemi.Boiled down, if your spouse complains of your nocturnal sound effects (the northern sounds, not the southern sounds, for which there is no cure), check it out with your local sawbones.
