Re: Anyone using nasal pillows with no C-flex? UPDATE!

I turned off c-flex last night and actually fell asleep. The noise level was much lower. I did wake a few times during the night, but i think I went about 3 hours before the first time. I will try again tonight.

Re: Anyone using nasal pillows with no C-flex? UPDATE!

I am over 3 weeks now with not one true succesfull night on therapy. I am reading this and thinking that C-flex may be what is bothering me. I have my one month follow up next week. Should I try to shut off c-flex or wait for my follow up. Is it even possible to shut it off with my machine? I seem t...

Re: 3 Weeks with No Sleep

Last Night was a DUD. I actually choked somewhat when I took my Ambien. I was laying down. After an hour I was still awake. Then I was coughing and I had an episode of really bad acid reflux. I have only had it happen like that 3 times in my entire life. It feels like your throat is on fire. I am a ...

Re: 3 Weeks with No Sleep

OK. So last night, I did 20 minutes on the treadmill. I tried to push myself a bit. Took a hot shower, took an Ambien, and was in bed with the lights out by 10. Phone rang at 10:30. It was an important call from my vet(he works very late) so I had to take it. Went back to bed. It seems like I was up...

Re: 3 Weeks with No Sleep

I have always been a light sleeper. I had a whole lot of trouble sleeping for my sleep studies. I think I just have a hard time being hooked up to things. TV is off, temp is fine. I am not very active(probably because I am always so tired). I am going to try to do about a half hour on the treadmill ...

3 Weeks with No Sleep

Today is 3 weeks on C-Pap. I try every night and cannot sleep. I even put it on if I try to nap during the day. I do not find it uncomfortable for the most past. I tried Tylenol PM. I tried Rozerem. I am now on Ambien.I even took 2 one night because I was so frustrated. I get tired, but eventually j...

Not like that. Usually 10-30 minutes.

I NEED SOME SLEEP!

I picked up my CPAP last Wednesday. I had a very positive attitude going into this. I am actually quite comfortable wearing my nasal pillow mask. I just cannot fall asleep. The first 2 nights, I went to bed between 10 and 11 pm. I could not fall asleep, and took the mask off around 4 am. The 3rd nig...
