Is there an alcove of some kind in which you could place your bed, so that you would have walls on BOTH sides of the bed? You wou...

Re: REM sleep disorder - falling out of bed

Wouldn't it be much easier to just place your mattress directly on the floor? That way you can't fall far...

Until mid December 2016 I had used a Respironics REMstar pro for five years. I suffer from chronic rhinitis but rarely had problems using the REMstar. My sleep doctor informed me that I was eligible for a new machine so I purchased a DreamStation CPAP PRO. When I had set it up I noticed a strong che...
