Is it illegal in Florida to lie down and fall asleep with your shoes on?
No, of course it isn't illegal. I mean who would even want to fall asleep with shoes on I think its just uncomfortable but you can do what you want
Can you scent your cpap water?
Scenting the water in the humidifier is not recommended. You want to keep the water chamber as "sterile" as possible. Meaning you want to keep if free from as many outside contaminants as possible. These contaminants can cause build up over time which can then lead to bacteria growth that is then introduced into the air that is breathed.
However there are several companies out there that sell products which can be scented and placed near the air filter intake, which will scent the air that you breathe. This is called aromathearapy. This should be discussed with your physician or respiratory therapist prior to using though because there may be reasons not use on a patient by patient basis.
Lastly, if you do use aroma therapy, be sure to check the air filters often. They may need to be changed more frequently. Also I would recommend staying on top of your tubing. Cleaning it at least weekly and replacing every 2-3 months as needed.
Does sleep deprivation cause anemia?
I claim no medical education or suggest making significant changes to your lifestyle before consulting a doctor with your intention.
In my opinion, yes. Anemia, workaholic and sleep depravation go hand in hand. I mean if you work odd shift night and day it less likely to have an influence but working day night day night day night with only few hours sleep on a frequent basis, then yes. A lot of forums argue this myth but after test and test and no answers.
My logic is that lack of sleep cause, chemical, hormone imbalance, fatigue, depressive states and lack of physical exercise beyond work, which increase/ induces? anemia. There is no direct link sleep deprivation > anemia X wrong
sleep deprivation > body imbalances and fatigue (poor body function)> anemia.
Anemia > poor body function > fatigue..
a pattern there, i think.
Possible way to recovery
I would say, sleep for 6-8+ hours a night ANDdrink orange juice (vitamin c) "increase iron absorbion, eat a balance diet and eat iron rich foods. This over a long period should help, binges of this won't because iron absorbed through food is limited so wont have any effect.
Please note, i think this is a lifestyle change and many will feel this is too much to recovery, i would take time to think, plan and make these step strong in your mind as half hearted attempts are likely to end in failure.
If you feel this helps you, good, and if you wish to share this please do.
Kindest Regards

How do you stop drooling at night?
This is a natural thing that happens while you sleep and it happens to millions of people.
Insead of lying on your side or front try sleeping on your back. If any saliva does collect in your mouth your auto swallow reflex will kick in. You can consult your doctor and there is the possiblity of getting tablets that reduce the amount of saliva your glands produce but this can often cause you to be very thirsty due to dehydration and will probably end up with you going to get a glass of water 3 or 4 times during the night.
Otherwise there isn't very much that you can do. It will either go away with time or you stuck with it.
Recommendation: get thick cases that absorb the moisture while you sleep or place towel over your pillow and you can just rinse the towel out in the morning.
I hope this helps
Try rinsing with Amosan at bedtime for several days. Amosan can be purchased at most drug stores.
First answer
I read about this and it's called Sleep paralysis. This use to happen to me, and the only thing that use to help was prayer and opening the bible.
Second answer
It is a common name for sleep paralysis, a type of nightmare that takes place in low level REM sleep. A person's body is asleep, yet their brain is awake enough to perceive their surroundings. This explains why a person's body has the sensation of being heavy or immovable, almost as if something is sitting on their chest. The fact that they are in low level REM sleep explains why they see all sorts of scary creatures like witches or demons. A good illustration of this phenomenon is Heny Fuseli's beautiful painting "The Nightmare" (1781). Such night terrors are typically reported by African Americans from (or at least with ties to) the south, particularly in Louisiana where it is known as "Cauchemare." The earliest references to this phenomenon in the US come from the Salem witch trials of 1692. The oldest source that I know of mentioning the witch is the writing of an early 14th-century French physician who noted that the common folk believed the Incubus was an "old hag" who smothered adults and children in their sleep.
