didn't describe sleep problems too much, and test subjects didn't have OSA.... but it does show what stay many of US have been living in with deprived sleep or poor sleep qulaity

Ok.. so i got jipped by the DME (Hampton Homecare). They gave me a respoironics cpap.. great, but not data capable. Now after reading this forum since starting treatment (last April) i realize i do need a data capable. I want to see my stats, and get better treatment. 85-90 percent of nights are gre...

I have had night sweats. The doctor says nothing is wrong. I keep my room a cool 65 (if possible). I live in cotton clothes and cotton bedding. My pj's are light, roomy, and comfy.

I find that I am not dreaming as much, although I know this isn't true. I just don't remember the dreams.
