Re: No change yet
For me, just a few weeks in, I am waking up less but I also realized that I am feeling just a little more rested. Recently, I've woken up a few mornings feeling definitely very rested, which is amazing because I had forgotten how that felt. As I sleep more soundly, I am having to increase my stretch...

Re: Finally- an appointment with Sleep Doctor
I think the doctor's recommendations are sound. Get up if you can't sleep, increase the settings, etc. I would add that stretching before bed or doing some yoga can help you be more comfortable in bed - one less distraction.

Re: Body Inflammation seems worse with CPAP use
I think there may be a simple explanation for this - if you've been unable to sleep soundly for a long time, your body is now revealing the impact of lying still for prolonged periods. I've experienced this as well and increased my daily movement/exercise and started doing yoga again. It helped. A l...

Pugsy, it sounds like you have at least enough interaction with the forum to know what is going on and when it is going bad. I vote for you for Sheriff - because someo...

Re: Especially for newly diagnosed - Dealing with Change
I don't consider the diagnosis to be earth-shattering. It is something I didn't know was wrong with me and now I have a treatment for it. It was a surprise because my husband has severe apnea he has been reluctant to get help for. So I did the test hoping for some help with my insomnia and ended up ...

Re: Newbie would like to hear success stories, please.
I've been using my CPAP for almost a month now. At first it was difficult - they set the pressure really high with a wide swing. I'd tested as 57 interrupts per hour. But the high pressure was blowing the mask off my face, couldn't keep a seal. So they reduced the top pressure a bit. Though the foll...
