I Went for a Sleep Study-Here’s What You Should Expect
Recently, I went for a sleep study test. I sleep well at night, but my husband doesn’t–because my snoring keeps him awake. I hate having to admit that I snore because I hate that I snore. What is more annoying or offensive than snoring after all? But there it is, I snore. I didn’t always….
