What would be your definition of the perfect job - and the perfect boss (if any!).

Already doing my dream job, as a midwife in the local community. Have a real laugh with my clients and have met and worked with thousands of people. Would love to do less paperwork, as it takes me away from the mums and babies.

If I didn't work as a midwife, I would like to be a porn film extra!!! :P  :P  :P

Just kidding of course.

Polysomnographist? You could do me some good because I suffer from Sleep Apnea [smiley=sleep.gif]

I would have liked to have been a childrens nanny but ended up doing the opposit and working with the elderly.

@ alfee thats one of the primary things I deal with, but i believe in the U.K. it's not taken as seriously as in other areas of the world.

Sorry i`m a bit slow getting back to you littlemo...Yes I think that we Brits do not take apnea serious enough, they say that I am borderline so the only thing that I have is a denture thingy to keep my throat open.

To those not in the know Sleep Apnea means that I wake up about 50-60 times an hour because I stop breathing, although I am not aware of it...it means I get lack of oxygen. [smiley=redface.gif]

Alfee 50-60x/hr would make you extremely severe!
obviously there is a criteria, each event has to last for a minimum of 10secs and up to 5/hr in regular sleep 15/hr in REM is normal. 5-15 is mild, 15-30 mod and above that is severe. Cardiologist are now referring for sleep studies to rule out OSA before any meds or ops as a person with severe sleep apnea put's a strain on the heart and other major organs therefore by treating OSA, where effectivly treating the heart.

Honest! iI have seen the graphs and they have told me 50 times...unless they mean per night :
