Quoted from Buffooned:

Reminder, get sleep tested for a CPAP. A lot of heart attacks happen to body builders and also tend to happen around Daylight Savings time. It can save your life.

RIP, MPE was always an amazing show.

I can not echo this enough my cpap machine has changed my life and I'm sure saved it too. I was that guy that would fall asleep in a meeting, at a movie or anytime I got a chance to sit.I would have to stop every 30 minutes driving to do exercises to wake up, I fell asleep driving multiple times and went in a ditch once missing a telephone pole by inches. I often would stop after work and sleep in a parking lot for an hour or 2 because the 35 minute drive was to much and I knew I would dose off if I tried. I would sleep 12 hours a day and wake up and fall asleep 30 minutes later on the couch with a cup of coffee,it was like I never slept and I would wake up soaked in sweat every morning and my wife said I would fight wars in my sleep screaming and punching. I went for a sleep study and they said I stop breathing 138 times an hour so basically I never slept causing serious strain on my heart. As soon as I got my cpap I was a new person,no more wars,no more sweating,no more falling asleep. I started sleeping for 6-7 hours a night and wake up like I was on meth, it has totally changed my life and I beg you if you even think you have even mild sleep apnea get a sleep study done because sleep apnea will shorten your life .
Condolences to John's friends and family I did not know the man but his show was what got me back into pinball and I thank him for that.
