 Sleep apnea/asphyxiation dreams are the worst.  They’re like Nightmare On Elm Street except you really can’t breathe.

Fucking horrible.

Oh yeah, morning. 
 There's a medical device that can fix it. Probably covered by the NHS? 
 I have one, this morning it wasn’t helping. I’d possibly twisted up or blocked it somehow in my sleep. 
 How does it attach?  
 A small device that fits under my nose. I tried a bunch of others but they’re so big and noisy I can’t sleep. 
 Any alternative treatment like cryotherapy? 
 Where they freeze me after death or I cry about it? Not heard of that before… a friend recommended oil pulling but it didn’t really work.

Open to ideas though. Fucking horrible when I get these nights. 
 It's a cold chamber. Forces you to breathe differently. It's used by athletes. You can DIY it with an ice bucket challenge 
 Interesting… I’ll look into it. 
 @inpc I don't just dream about it, I am on a cpap machine because of obstructive sleep apnea.
