No. OSA is only disabling if you choose not to use the therapies available to you. And even then most insurance companies, Social Security, etc will not acknowledge OSA as a true disability.

Sleep apnea is accepted to be a severe subject. My father has it and he too sleeps with an air compressor. besides the fact that, the goals which you're having would be bothersome. while a guy or woman is asleep, the strategies has a tendency to internalize the exterior area. meaning that in the time of the adventure that your hand gets caught in between your pillow and the mattress, you will possibly dream that somebody is pulling it. Or, if its too chilly anyplace you fell asleep at, then you definitely might dream you're cruising Alaska. As for the APAPA being internalized into your dream, I dont see the correlation. it looks you're under pressure or irritating, undesirable goals would be a results of those too. Having previous due heavy dinners can galvanize nighmares as nicely. Are you on any drugs? would desire to this be an factor result? If this maintains, it particularly is particularly helpful to talk this with a wellbeing care rpovider who can then refer you to a snooze care professional. maximum suitable desires.

Sleep apnea is when the back of the throat collapses during sleep causing the person to come out of deep sleep to recover. This process can happen many times a minute causing the person to be very tired and lethargic during the waking hours.However ther are many products available to prevent this so it won't be classed as a disability.Most people who suffer from sleep apnea are overweight and if this is the case then you must address this problem as well.

I have OSA also and somehow I can find it in myself to maintain my job. I swear, it seems that just about everyone is looking for a reason to be "disabled" so they can sit back and ride the government and those of us who work and pay taxes. One of my sons is truly disabled (he is autistic) and we do not receive any form of government assistance. My husband and I get up everyday and go to work so we, ourselves, can pay for his therapies. So why don't you get treatment for OSA ( because there are forms of treatment out there via CPAP, trach. etc. ) and get off your lazy butt and be a productive citizen in society and GET A JOB.
