Sleep Apnea
What do you do when your husband has been diagnosed with sleep apnea and won’t use the machine?
My husband has sleep apnea and will not use the machine. He also has diabetes. He goes to work, comes home sleeps for about two hours, goes to bed at 12:00 AM and gets up about 4:30 for work. On the weekends he will sleep if you let him about 14 hours a day. He would do this during the week but he has to go to work. I just don’t know what to do. I’m very concerned.
Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do… You can show him all the information about sleep apnea and its deleterious effects on health, how improved sleep can actually improve diabetes, etc etc, but until he decides to do what he needs to do, he’ll probably just hear it as “nagging” and ignore you even more industriously.
If it gets to be that bad, you could lay down an ultimatum: That if he doesn’t start taking better care of himself, you’ll leave because you can’t stand to watch him take such risks with his health. I would certainly not recommend that, unless the marriage is already irretrievably broken and you would actually be okay with it if he said, “All right, bye then.”
My sympathies are with you; it’s very frustrating to watch someone you care about neglect themselves. Unfortunately, your options are rather limited. I hope someone else has a more productive answer for you. Good luck.
