Re: Melatonin Dosage?

I tried melotnin for a few nights, 2x 30mg. I was groggy the next day. I would take it maybe an hour before bed. I stopped taking it. Best thing for me before bed is a mile on my treadmill or a walk with my bride after dinner. This is just my experience, it may work just fine for you, it works well ...

Re: Free Trial for Newbies and Strugglers (Aromatics)

Just got mine today. Very nice, simple and clean in design. Do you make a cinnamon scent? I boil water on my woodstove all winter, to keep the winter funk at bay I throw cinnamon sticks in the water. Clears my head and sinuses plus makes the house smell like something yummy is in the oven. Will be o...

Re: Vasomotor rhinitis?

My RT set my humidity to 4 out of 7. After the first nite I was sooooo stuffed up the next day. The next nite I set it to 6 and felt better, now its at a setting of 7 (max for my machine) and I wish I coulkd set it higher! lol. I am a humidity junkie I suppose. I have had sinus issues as long as I c...

Re: Updating profile

Upper left corner there is a link called "User Control Panel". Click it and you will see a tab marked "Profile". The rest should be pretty easy.

Glad to hear your getting more comfortable.

Re: Quick question regarding SenceAwake

Not a lot of F & P users here so even less discussion about its features. I don't remember much discussion about the Sensawake feature (if any discussion). I bet F & P talks it up about how accurate it might be Picking up on what Pugsy said and hoping not to confuse you, is it possible for you to e...

Re: Quick question regarding SenceAwake

If you do a Search for Sensawake here I'm pretty sure you'll get threads relating to it. DoriC, I have and found lots of threads, but nothing that gets into the nuts and bolts of what it does. I am seeing them happen 20-30 times a nite. If I am partially awakening during these times then I am sure ...

Re: Quick question regarding SenceAwake

I used the F&P Icon auto for around 9 months. Ive just recently switched to the S9 auto. I never really understood the SenseAwake feature. I never felt like it performed like it was supposed to. In theory, it is supposed to reduce your pressure when it 'senses' that your about to wake up. I always ...

Quick question regarding SenceAwake

Does this function detect arrousals and adjust pressure to help you remain asleep? Why I ask is that for the last 2 days I have had this feature enabled and it shows it has acted 31 and 27 times each nite. Just curious if that means I was waking up each of those times? Thanks in advance Same day I s...
