I found a shapeable body pillow at Target that was more shapeable than the shapeable head pillows and got that instead. The shapeable head pillows seemed to be stuffed with some sort of very slippery fiberfill, but they were stuffed so full that it couldn't slide around and shape. You might try look...

I asked him to change the prescription from c-flex to auto c-flex. He would not do it. Mr Tired Mr. Tired, Curious about whether you've made any decisions about this situation yet? I tried yet again to return my CPAP to sleep doctor today -- this time he was really helpful and charming (a first for...

I'm curious about whether others have noticed significant improvement in migraines after starting CPAP treatment? For me it has been an unexpected benefit -- in fact by far the main benefit. Have had chronic daily (almost constant) migraine for about a decade. But since starting CPAP have had signif...

Ambien/Sonata/Lunesta. My sleep doctor and I hope Rezerem will help enough that I don't need other sleep medications every night like I do now. WHY does your doctor think Rozerem will be superior to the others in terms of helping you get enough sleep? Is it just that it may be safer over the long r...

Thank you for sharing your opinion. I heard on the "night-owl" forum that there is a new sleeping pill that affects the Melatonin reseptors in the brain. Is this what you are refering as a treatment for ASPS? BTW, Do you have Advanced or Delayed sleep phase syndrome? I have DSPS which my sleep/wake...

Has anyone heard any news concering the drug Rozerem? I'm eagerly awaiting Rozerem as it sounds like it may have potential to treat advanced sleep phase syndrome. Melatonin helps many, but I (and others) have experienced depression on it. Provigil, BTW, seems to have considerable abuse potential. A...

My soon-to-ex sleep specialist contends that all the studies showing positive results for APAPs in comparison to CPAPs were funded by makers of APAPs.

With the XPAP technology developing rapidly, it may be best to look critically at studies that were done more than a few years ago.

Whatever happened to the product described below? Seems like the way to go, but there must have been some unexpected kinks. "Respironics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RESP) today announced the U.S. market launch of its new Profile(TM) Custom Nasal Mask, a revolutionary advancement in the noninvasive treatment of s...

Re the $US 500 per month. Reason I asked is that I was offered a RemStar Plus with Heated humidifier for rental here in Sydney, via a local RemStar supplier, for $AUD150 per month (min 2 months - no masks). $AUD150 = $US112.50. This seems more reasonable allowing that the same units cost double the...

Along with OSA, I have Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome where my sleep/wake cycle is deleyed (3-11 am), so having had to start work at 9 am has been a nightmare. I thank god about being diagnosed and treated for both these conditions. I also have delayed sleep phase and suffer a lot from it. You imply ...

Swift-loving side-sleepers:

Am almost convinced but would like to know how far onto your sides do you sleep without dislodging the Swift,

Anyone here sleep significantly further than 90 degrees, e.g. 135 degrees or 3/4 of way onto stomach, without leaks with the Swift?

Anyone else who uses this, does your nose hurt? My nasal passages have been feeling irritated in the last week. Does it just take some getting used to? What nasal interface are you using? Some people say Neosporin works well to help heal their nares. I'm also at about the one month mark, but have u...

A week from now I hope to have a clearer insight on this, along with a hopefully clearer head. I see the doc on Tuesday and get my prescription then. Don't get discouraged if you don't feel better or even feel a bit worse for the first few days of treatment: REM-rebound, that makes most people feel...

Is this true ? - do doctors really charge $500/month to rent out a machine that can be bought for the same price from cpap.com ? This is worrisome. If this is what your doctor charges then it seems plausible that such a doctor might become seduced by the value of the treatment rather that the value...

I don't know what the law is, but it seems to me that OSA should be covered under the Disabilities Act....probably isn't, but should be. Sleep apnea is covered by the Amercans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and one can request workplace accommodation for it. I have an ADA accommodation for my several ...
