A TONY
My sleep problem is really quite serious, but
a lot of people think that it’s normal and even
funny. I snore at night when I’m asleep – and my
wife says that it’s pretty loud! Now, I know
snoring isn’t unusual and there is a lot of advice on
how to stop snoring, but my snoring is different!
It’s linked to something called sleep apnoea. When
you snore, it means that you can’t keep your throat
open when you’re asleep. In my case, I actually
stop breathing for ten seconds or more. My wife
notices that I’m not breathing and has to wake me
up. She’s really worried that one day, I won’t
wake up! So am I.
B LIZZIE
My problem is very unusual and most people
have never heard of it. It’s called narcolepsy and it
has changed my whole life. Narcolepsy is when
people fall asleep anywhere at any time and they
can’t stop doing it. Since the problem started, I’ve
had to stop work, because you can’t do a good job
if you are falling asleep in the middle of a
conversation! I don’t like going out with friends
because I get embarrassed about it and also I’ve
had to stop driving as it’s much too dangerous
now. I go to a special sleep clinic now and they’re
helping me a lot.
C ROBERT
I’ve had this sleep problem since I was a child
and know a lot of people who have the same
problem. It’s called insomnia and this means that
I sleep very badly. Sometimes, I can’t get to sleep
for hours and sometimes I go to sleep OK, but I
wake up in the middle of the night and then I can’t
get back to sleep again. It’s horrible because the
next day, I can’t concentrate on my work. It’s also
very lonely when you wake up in the dark and you
think that you’re the only person awake in the
world! The doctor has given me some sleeping
tablets, but I don’t like taking them, because they
make me feel bad the next day.
