Increasing REM sleep

Any suggestions besides melatonin or pink noise to increase REM? I'm using marijuana to sleep and it is definitely helping but decreases REM, I have heard. Thanks.

Re: RLS: Magnesium Type?

Thank you so much, Jay, for the report! No one dropped out because of diarrhea, but no matter, I can't tolerate it. Does the mmol mean it was taken in a liquid form? Does anyone know what that might be in mg's? I take magnesium bisglycinate and malate (and a malate concoction sold by the leg cramps ...

Re: RLS: Magnesium Type?

Does anyone happen to know more about the PubMed article, like what kind of magnesium was used?

Re: FOR SALE: ResMed Airsense autoset 10 travel CPAP

Pugsy, How can I tell how many hours it has been used (and I'll include that)? I didn't actually name a price...I said what I paid for it and asked for the best offer. I know people can get them on Amazon for that price so I am expecting less.

Re: FOR SALE: ResMed Airsense autoset 10 travel CPAP

Thanks, Jim and Den. Yes, I have had a sleep study. I have NO apnea when I sleep on my side and I am a side sleeper. Also I still am keeping my other machine should I need one in the future for some reason. So I am still selling the travel ResMed.

FOR SALE: ResMed Airsense autoset 10 travel CPAP

I bought this used (like new) machine for travel and have hardly used it. My doctor has now told me my apnea is so mild I needn't use a CPAP so I would like to get some of the $600 I paid for this good-as-new machine back. Humidifier, traveling case and all hoses are included and work perfectly. Wil...

Alternative treatment of PLMD?

Anyone had any success in treating PLMD outside of Western medicine; i.e., Chinese medicine or Ayurvedic or naturopath?

Increased pressure and skin rash?

My sleep doc increased my CPAP pressure to start at 8 instead of 7 to see if it would help with sleep maintenance issues. At the same time the skin where the wisp mask is has become very dry. My humidity is maxed out to help with congestion. Maybe I should lower it? Any suggestions? I would like to ...

Re: Headache?

I am not sure they are cpap related, but they wake me up in the a.m. from sleep. I do not have them earlier in the night as I am a poor sleeper and am up. I have had complete blood work taken recently and it all checked out, and saw my sleep doc last month and he checked the recent month and my numb...
