Sleep apnea is a serious problem for many people, however, many suffer from a more common dilemma: they can't stop thinking. There are many who feel if they ceased to think (by thought I mean verbal mental chatter) they would cease to exist. Some even feel that demons or spirits are liable to sneak their way in and poses you if this were to happen. The truth is, people live in two different worlds. In one world, the world of ceaseless mental chatter, the world is scary. Things are constantly attacking you and you are constantly under threat. In the other world, the natural world of what we may call "reality" life flows with a balance of disruption and correction. Strangely, however, this world is usually calmer. Its moment to moment activity is far less chaotic and often supplies solutions to the problems that arise.

A great example of the comparison I am making would be a man who has a hard time sleeping at night. He is worried about the events of tomorrow and feels as if he is under threat. Perhaps the bills are due. Maybe he will be fired or let go from his job. Either way, he is safe and fine in his bed yet he feels vulnerable to an imminent attack and so suffers yet another grueling night laden with anxiety.

In this life we all will experience both worlds. But it seems that the older we get the more the mental chatter in our mind becomes problematic. But, is this inevitable or do we have a choice in the matter?
