I am not well corrected by cpap. I use it every night but I still wake up 3 or 4 times a night. It only helps me a little bit. I would like to try the pillar procedure... yes, its a lot of cash but I'm willing to take the risk. However it has been intimated to me that my sleep doctors are at war wit...

I wanted to thank you all... I'm rereading this log and will call Dr. in morning. apap seems best idea to me but I suspect it won't float right now... let's see what she says... but now I have some ideas and background. Thanks again.

Before I had cpap I was waking up 3-4 times a night. Since I've been using a mask, to the degree that I've been using it, I haven't been sleeping much at all. It seems I'm in a state of revery with short sleeping interludes, and then I wake up fully maybe 4-5 times a night. Much worse than without t...

Without cpap, I wake up 3-4 times a night. With cpap I seem to go into a sort of revery or light sleep, at best. This is two months now. Often I don't sleep or hardly sleep and find myself waking up 4-5 times a night (fully waking up). One possibility is that the pressure might be set too high, desp...

How do you know if the pressure is too high?

I want to thank you all. At least I'm not among health-conscious puritans. Next time I over do it, I'll wear the mask (as long as I can get it on right). Thanks again. Yours, Skinny...

Well, I had some good news yesterday, and celebrated... next thing I know, stuffed to the gills and drunk, I started to fall asleep. Question: to use the cpap machine or not? I simply don't know if I should be using it when I am drunk and stuffed to the gills. I elected to let myself fall asleep in ...

I am diagnosed with sleep apnea, and am told that I have many times during the night in which I "wake" but am unconscious of it. But I am conscious of 2 or 3 real, complete awakenings, in which full consciousness is restored. It is these that I wish I could lose... its what I am aware of. What the m...

One of the reasons I was convinced I should get a cpap machine is that I was waking up 2 or 3 times a night every night. A sure sign of sleep apnea, I was told. The sleep study revealed that I had OSA. I'm only on the second week of use, so things may change, but so far, I've not noticed any improve...

The reason I'm called skinnysleepapnea is that, in an effort to cure sleep apnea and high blood pressure, I lost 80 lbs. (from 250-170). Of that I kept 60 off for several years, and still have them off. Did it help my sleep pattern any? Sorry. It didn't. It might help you, though, and certainly is w...

Before I start, I want to thank those who answered my newbe question a few days back. I took your advice and the machine and mask are fine. I'm still not sure I've been titrated with the right pressure, but my experience is improving each night. I would have thanked you on that thread but it disappe...

my information is out of date, but I believe is still valid. In the 1960's they used to believe that dreams took place very rapidly, but you remembered them in something like what appeared to be realistic time even if what happened was of course, dream reality. However, in studying dreaming patients...

Hi, I'm new to cpap (2nd night at home-- 2 at sleep center). I am worried that they have set my pressure too low or that leakage from front of mask is causing problems. The leakage from front of mask (I have RESMED Ultra Mirage, cpap is respironics pro with cflex) is a definite roar on both inhale a...
