Finished 4 nights with the bunggie cord, with loop on right hand and other end tied to bed frame so if I try to turn onto back get that rather gentle tug preventing it. Probably not for everyone but for me better than tennis ball on back. So results, well no afternoon nap since starting and each day...

Well did tie myself to the bed frame last night. Not as sever as it sounds since I used a fair sized length of stretching tubing like they use on your arm when taking blood. Made a loop for right hand and tied other to bed frame leaving me plenty of room to move (I do try and sleep on left side) but...

You won't find me disagreeing but then I've just finished reading many pages of technical literature kindly referred to me over drug treatments for RLS so likely confused anyway. RLS is, in my opinion the least of my worries with even possibility it's partially caused by respiratory events. Big thin...

Oh, my but enough info to put me to sleep a few nights. Honestly it looks extremely interesting an yes I do have Levadopa prescription in low dosage. Will try and wade through this, thank you very much. Actually someone posted today 'Bondage for Positionally' (Challenged is my term) and I'm tempted ...

I'm kinda warming to the idea since I'm way high if on back and if I can only stay on side evidently minimal events. However the memory isn't what it used to be and I can just imagine leaping out of bed to head for the bathroom and doing one hell of a flip flop on to the floor. Since bed is rather h...

I certainly agree with compliments. I'll have to put up my hand to not taking my med's. Had a choice years ago of taking sleeping pills or low dose of same kind of med which parkinson's patients take to calm tremors. May not make you as groggy as sleeping pills but take one and it acts much the same...

Few thoughts on this... Wondering if the time on your side had enough REM time to definitively say your AHI is that low when on your side? REM (what there was of it) was all while on side and perhaps oddly not associated with much in way of leg movement arousal or as much other apnea events which a...

Very thoughtful comments perhaps I think so because it reinforces my own feeling that it's going to take more than sleeping on my side to obtain refreshing sleep pattern. Yes this Dr. has 'smarts' and suspect will work with me to get things on the road to improvement, haven't see that many initials ...

[quote="Pugsy"]Tennis balls hurt. Pain causes awakenings. For the tennis ball thing to work it has to wake us up to make us turn off our backs. Seems like not the most optimal of solution, for me anyway, though some people have done it. I have enough pain to wake me up without adding to it. I All go...

Finally received the full report on my recent sleep study. For past few months have been tired during the day and had to take nap on getting home from work. This is unusual and main reason for getting sleep study. Thanks to all the information on this website I did know enough to interpret the study...
