Message: I've discovered that my husband has sleep apnea (which causes insomnia for the rest of us!). I noticed he wasn't breathing for 23 seconds at a time. He doesn't seem as concerned as I am. He is 48 and he'd say some overweight. What I'm curious to know is whether or not sleep apnea and memory loss can be or are usually related. He seems to be forgetting whole conversations and names of people with whom he interacts on a frequent basis, etc. Any word out there? Also, is there a listing anywhere of sleep apnea testing centers in the SLC, Utah area? I didn't see anything listed specifically under sleep disorders or sleep apnea in Yellow Pages... Thankx, Karen
