Sorry when I said occasionally I mean over the last two months

Do I need to do that if I have only been taking the ambien occasionally and usually only a half a pill and it is only the last five days that I've taken them in a row and only one night a whole one?

Yes Kaiagram it makes sense because I am a buddhist and meditate (well not much lately as I seem to fall asleep while doing it) and counting breathes is part of a regular mediation that I do. I wasn't counting my breaths so that I would fall asleep. I was counting my breaths so as to be attentive to...

I was reading a book for most of it and laying and trying to count my breaths to help fall asleep for the rest.

But before starting the cpap I had gotten somewhat of a handle on sleeping issues. I never had trouble going to sleep (until I got on CPAP). It was always just waking several times in the night (not sure if from apnea or night terrors that I had gotten to a minimum) and I had trained myself after wa...

I have been having issues with insomnia for last 4 months but been on wellutrin for ten years so I am not sure there is a connection and tbh I am not sure there would be anything I could do cause I can't go off it (if I want to live or keep my job that is). I did have trouble sleeping a bit when I f...

My depression is not untreated. I am on wellbutrin and have been for the last ten years

Well I didn't take anything to sleep last night and gave myself an hour on the machine from 9:30 to 10:30, but no sleep. So then I gave myself another hour without the machine and no sleep. I then went out to living room and fell asleep at 2:15 in front of tv. I got less than four hours and now I ha...

In order not to be so tired that I try to harm myself or lose my job, I've decided a new approach to my cpap. I will go to bed at the same time every night and put it on. I will read and/or try to go to sleep. I will give myself an hour to fall asleep with the machine on. If I do fall asleep, wonder...

I'm sorry spirit walker but in another time and place your response would be heartily welcomed but NOT NOW. Did you not even read my last post!?!?!???!!??!!? I'm on the edge. As in jumping out a window. I do not i repeat do not need fixing. NO FZiXIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously. Was I not clear in m...

Again, no offense, but the last two posts are exactly why I don't want suggestions. I have had it on cpap mode at 9 for almost a weeke now. I was able to fall asleep with it yesterday morning with no problem but somehow the night before and last night it felt interoperable. Maybe it is the heat from...

But I had been able to easily fall asleep with the mask on the prior last two weeks or so. I understand that it takes time but it has been just about a month now and when I started this I was already significantly sleep deprived. I keep fighting and doing everything I can to make it work but to be h...

Here I am again. Sleepy tea, melatonin, ambien, mask on reading my book. I keep falling asleep while reading but each time I put the book down, few minutes later the pillows feeli like they are suffocating me and intolerable. I take them off and lay in bed a while. Figure I don't feel so sensitive n...

I was finally able to sleep with CPAP for a few hours. I went back to bed at 10 and slept till 2pm. I hope tonight I can sleep with it. Thanks for all your understanding. It sometimes seems so hopeless.

Thanks all. I'm just so tired and a different type of mask is the only thing I can think to do.
