Sleeping Without Resting Is Not A Good Thing

I don't talk about it much over here on this blog, but I am sure some of you know that Junior and I go to therapy every two weeks.  It's not marriage counseling, but more of a place where Junior is learning to deal with his past.  We had a session yesterday, and we were talking about the problems Junior is having sleeping.  I know that he is getting enough sleep, as in sleeping for 6 or 7 hours, but he feels like he isn't resting when he's asleep.  You see, he has sleep apnea, so he sleeps using a pi-pap machine.  When he had his tonsils removed a few years ago, the doctor recommended having his machine re calibrated, but he never did. I think this is part of his resting problem. We didn't have medical insurance at that time, so it was too expensive for him to have another sleep study done.

We still don't have insurance for Junior and I, but he is looking into getting some.  We know it is going to be expensive, but we are hoping that for just the two of us, it won't be too bad.  I mean, we end up going to the ER for things that a regular doctor could easily treat, because we can't afford the office visits.  Having insurance would make it easier to see our family doctor, and also make another sleep study possible. 

I have a feeling that a good nights sleep will do wonders for Junior, no matter what the cost.
