perhaps it's the proven fact that the placebo effect is real, and powerful.

He didn't use his machine last night because he thinks he will only get 3 hours sleeping with it.

yup, that's progress!!!

I'm interested whether, in the entire history of the forum, there's ever been anybody less able to help themselves.

Pale Rider, the pressure seemed too strong for me. I am trying to figure out how to lower it but I don't understand the manual, that is all. It's not like I'm trying to quit or anything.

Well I'm not denying that, but now that I went a night without it, I can't really ''remember'' how I felt when I woke up those days, but I do remember being really tired, more tired than ever, a little while after I woke up.

Now it could be that the CPAP made me not sleep as much and woke me up before the headaches reached their highest point. I get less headaches when I sleep less. So maybe that was why, I don't know. But either way, I sill was tired and didn't get enough sleep.

Are you going to the doctor or not (to get that report)?

I know my test is inconclusive. But did I have any centrals? how many? And why does it say complex apnea was noted?
