My first three months of PAPing were plain out hellish and the next three felt like purgatory because of insomnia issues that had set in during the first three months. But I wanted to respond to your post because you write: All of my la...

Re: 90 Days & Still Exhausted

How many hours of sleep would you say you average each night? From the usage graph looks around 8 maybe??? Are those hours fragmented with wake ups? Toss and turn a lot?
