Quitting Smoking...
ChadTower:
5 POTS OF COFFEE A DAY?!
WTF! I'm surprised you haven't ended up in the ER with a heart murmur. That's got to be like 2 gallons of coffee.
FrizzleFried:
Well...I usually got through about 3/4 of the pot before they got nasty...but yah...it was getting bad...I was staying up all night...on WORK NIGHTS, etc.
I kicked that habit about 6 months back.
It was easy (but damn, I was used to staying up to 2AM then getting up at 7AM for work...now I have to be in bed by midnight and I sleep to 7:30AM...and I still feel tired. Argh...
ChadTower:
I know that feeling, definitely. I suffer from pretty bad sleep apnea, my whole life is spent hoping for the equivalent of 3 hours of good sleep in any given night.

DUDE! I have sleep apnea as well. GET A CPAP MACHINE! No ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---! I used to piss at least 3 times a night...I'd be lucky to get 2 hours of sleep. I took the test, and I was having over 80 attacks each night! It took me TURNING BLUE one night to get off ---my bottom--- and do something about it. The doctor said I likely didn't breath for over 5 minutes to turn that shade of blue! It scared the HELL out of me.
I got a CPAP machine. It is uncomfortable, a pain in the ass, but I CAN SLEEP! The very first night I used it I SLEPT THROUGH THE ENTIRE NIGHT without getting up to piss or anything! It was A-FRIGGIN'-MAZING!
I have used my CPAP machine for going on 4 years now, I have thousands of hours on it, and I use it every night (except for camping, I refuse to buy a battery pack for $300 for the damn thing to go camping with). GET IT! Trust me...you will FOREVER be changed.
EDIT: My wife just reminded me that another turning point for me was when I fell asleep at the wheel of my truck on the 5 Freeway during rush hour traffic and almost killed myself and 4 other people. Yup...that was a "WAKE UP" call (no pun intended).
Now, even though I am tired some mornings...its' NOTHING like the daze i used to live life in...

You should definitely look into getting a sleep study done if you haven't before.
