“My physical frame” is not exactly one you would find in a medical journal with the words, “a healthy human being” underneath it.
Anyone that has shared a room (or a van) with me over the years knows that I have sleep apnea. Meaning, I snore loudly and stop breathing while I sleep for an extended period of time. I mean, I literally just completely stop breathing. Usually when I am in a deep sleep and this happens these events are accompanied by a dream of me drowning, getting choked out, suffocating, etc. What I have found incredibly odd is that these dreams sometimes actually fade to black – as if I am actually dying.
The medical condition in itself is pretty annoying physically, yet imagine if you are rooming with a fucking total prick (a la DJ ON&ON) who happens to loudly scream every time you fall back asleep and begin snoring – as if his loud yells will somehow cure the condition..
