Is air supposed to be coming out of those little holes in the mask? That's just the exhaust/expiration, right? How much? I'm wondering if it's too much or something.

a new sleep study is hard for me because I am a single mom of two toddlers and don't have anyone to watch them so I can go. Otherwise, no its not that bad.

I have a humidifier on my CPAP machine but never hardly use it. I'm wondering if you feel like your sleep is improved with the use of it. Maybe I'm missing out on some quality sleep by not using it!

I go to the psychiatrist tomorrow and am talking with her about starting Provigil to offset the sleepiness as well but the majority of this sleepiness started before the meds, too. I think it's really a combo of the depression, meds, and OSA but I know that my sleep apnea is really a huge huge part ...

I am so tired and my CPAP is not cutting it anymore. I have an appointment to go see the doctor soon about getting an APAP (pray pray pray I don't need another sleep study) but in the meantime need some relief from this god-awful sleepiness. I slept from 6pm to 3pm the next day! I'm also really depr...

really? So setting it too high can make you MORE tired? That's interesting. I've lost some weight and think my settings may be off. I have an old school machine that isn't an auto or anything. Hmmm.. and I've been SUPER tired!!!

Yes I am aware of that, and I've brought up that fact to my psychiatrist many times. However, right now, considering I'm borderline suicidal, they insist it is the best treatment for my anxiety at night. I have severe major depression, bipolar II, borderline personality disorder, and obsessive compu...

My psychiatrist has me taking Xanax at night for sleep and I'm wondering if this is okay considering the sleep apnea or if this is screwing up my breathing and that's why I'm still so tired all the time... any ideas?

I'm wondering what the symptoms or consequences are if your CPAP is set too high. Does anyone know?
