Re: Too much brain fog to sort this out - heading in right direction or no?

https://sleephq.com/public/42bf66d7-d0ad-456a-8612-f4cbd173cc81 Well, here was last night and my lunchtime nap today. Beyond exhausted. Congestion increased severely and the new settings didn't like me. I started feeling so claustrophobic and put soft back on, narrowed the range up. I couldn't handl...

Re: OT; the other sleep demons that haunt our nights

Glad Pugsy had a success story to share! I myself was going to recommend against, as I did allergy shots weekly for a year at a doctor's office for a diagnosis of "year round seasonal allergies." I noticed no improvement. I eventually got some relief from going gluten-free, even though gluten was od...

Re: Too much brain fog to sort this out - heading in right direction or no?

By all means keep and fix the one you have. CL machines might be full of cat dander or cigarette smoke or worse! I think the motor replacement is not too big a deal, even for a prospective 'for Her' customer. Watch Nick's video on it and decide for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXoSxPP7...

Re: Too much brain fog to sort this out - heading in right direction or no?

Can't tell from these reports because you have to factor in the problems (or lack of) that reaching the upper limit causes...like leaks. If leaks are annoying (waking you up) at 12 then I would limit the max to 10 or 11...just below the problem level. You are a better judge of that than I am from l...

Re: Too much brain fog to sort this out - heading in right direction or no?

Ok, that makes sense. Where would you suggest to start for an upper limit? And any suggestions on battling the congestion? Did not have a great night last night, but managed to keep the mask on again. Woke up to weird noise from the machine, 6:17 am approximately. https://imgur.com/a/OKihJ1h It soun...

Re: Too much brain fog to sort this out - heading in right direction or no?

I tried to respond yesterday (and upload my previous day's) but I couldn't get a connection to the forum over several hours. So here is Thursday: https://sleephq.com/public/b7540b87-1eda-4292-b34f-281ca6201fb3 And here is my Friday with big changes to the settings: https://sleephq.com/public/a3f9322...

Re: Too much brain fog to sort this out - heading in right direction or no?

@ vandownbytheriver (possibly the best username ever... somehow, I feel more motivated, all of a sudden!) I am not sure, but there is a chance I did go supine. I tend to and that's when I have problems, as you have surmised and my sleep studied illustrated. For a while I had luck propping myself up ...

Re: Too much brain fog to sort this out - heading in right direction or no?

@ ozij First, thank you SOOOO MUCH for your response. Oh no, so it looks like I *was* going in the wrong direction, after all. Unfortunately it looks like I checked for responses just a few minutes before yours, so headed to bed last night with my original game plan. I did keep the mask on at 7/10 b...

Too much brain fog to sort this out - heading in right direction or no?

Hello there. Long time lurker, first time poster. First, thanks to this community for the countless hours you put in. I am impressed and inspired to try to give back once I ever figure this out and get my life back. Posting because I haven't been able to figure it out on my own after a year or so, a...
