I had my best night yet with the machine--went ALL night and woke up with in on! I'm off melatonin for the time being. I rotate my sleep meds when I can.I felt pretty good today! I did yoga, meditation, food shopping, hung out with friends; things are looking up. Thanks.

Hey Duckdog, you're my inspiration! I've got 10 days straight on my CPAP. WE can do this! Thanks.

Doing better with this! Thank-you to everyone here.

"Bump"...in the night.

I agree about looking for other possible options for treating the RLS. Hopefully you've already done some basic things like have iron studies to include your ferritin level and are nutritionally sound. Are you on the methadone for your daytime symptoms of RLS or for sleep? Does you being prescribed...

Tekis - Have you tried anything else for RLS besides methadone? It probably isn't the best thing if you have OSA and I'd talk to your doctor about it now that you're on Cpap. Yes, I've tried EVERYTHING else. It was a last resort. I only take 5-10mg and I don't take it every night. The good news is ...

Boy, does all of this sound familiar. I'm waiting for the "good" to start as well. Hope it does soon for both of us. Dude, you lit a fire under me! I'm wearing the mask tonight. Period. Please give me some suggestions? (thanks to the others' encouragement too!) 1) I need some basic starting setting...

Hey man! I saw your post over in my thread. I read this whole thread. So, you got thru last night? That's better than I've ever done. Can someone here please look at my set-up and give me some suggested starting settings? I never got to meet with anyone (a tech) and am flying blind until this Thursd...

I would just like to suggest that it might not be the CPAP keeping you awake. Your study said your have RLS and alpha intrusions. When you visit the doc, ask if there's any chance these things are affecting your sleep. Also ask if you have Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD) along with the RLS. ...

Thanks for the encouragement! 3 weeks? Okay. Does one just put it on and go the whole night? Or do a few hours at a time? Or is everyone different? Should I get back on sleeping pills to help get me thru it? I appreciate the responses thus far. "Good night..."

Hello everyone: I underwent a sleep study last summer (2011). They said I had "mild sleep apnea, alpha intrusion, and restless leg syndrome." I went back again and they screened me for a CPAP machine. I got it a month or so later. Tried it. Hated it. It made it impossible to sleep. I was prescribed ...
