<p>A couple of places I used my real name since I had no issue, or invite contacts.<p>Anywhere where I think my opinions might affect my income I stay anonymous. My name combo is very unique, so anything I post would be related to me.<p>Honestly it's a small world and anything could be sourced, just making it less casual.</p>

<p>In my 60's now, in my late 20's due to a layoff I ended up taking a year long "Sabbatical".<p>It wasn't planned and I didn't have the finances setup but I made it work and spent my time doing volunteer work, some personal spiritual exploration and low cost travel.<p>Granted, single, no one needing me for anything, so your mileage may vary.<p>For me, best decision ever. I really enjoyed getting to point of not knowing what day it was.</p>

<p>Have done a couple of sleep studies, no apnea, but snored terribly. (Have snored my whole life)<p>During the studies they had me try a CPAP, none chance I would ever be able to wear one. I have a strong gag reflex.<p>I've worn a number of mouth guards, all fitted by my dentist. I wore them for about 25 years. Absolutely noticed the change in my bite, but was will to put up with it to allow my wife to sleep at night.<p>I've now changed out to device that holds my tongue. Much less stress on my jaw and works just as well as any of the mouth guards.</p>
