I know you listed your meds but if you forgot to mention any anti-depressants I would look at those for the cause of the nightmares.

Effexor. Unlikely since I've been taking it for over 20 years

I am wondering about what drugs and/or supplements you take, if any. Many have side effects that could disrupt your sleep with nasty dreams. E.g. Melatonin with vitamin b can cause weird dreams. Heart medicine can disrupt sleep. When i take magnesium citrate before bed, I sleep heavily. A glass of ...

How long has it been since you have had a 'full-on' in lab sleep study? I'm wondering about such things as erratic pulse rate, O2 blood saturation, cardiac problems, and or pulmonary problems? If you have been on PAP for 10 years and do not sleep well, where is your determination to look at other p...

Still having the same problems: nightmares, frequent waking, brain fog while awake. Generally symptoms of poor sleep quality even though I spend a lot of hours asleep. I've attached a graph of a typical night. This torture is DAILY (well, nightly). I hope that someone can help.

Thanks for all the input. I really appreciate it.

Is there any benefit to putting the machine into A-trial mode?

Here is the graph after hitting F9: Screenshot mar 12 19.jpg You are recommending INCREASING the pressure from 12 to 13? I was thinking of lowering it to 11 since my EPAP is spending a lot of time below 13. I was concerned that my pressure was too high. While I'm a CPAP veteran, I'm a SleepyHead sta...

I am a RELIGIOUS APAP user. I've been on the blower for around 10 years. I have 100% compliance (even take it for overnight motel stays) and have an enviably low average AHI of under 2.0. I am currently using nasal pillows but I have been on every type of mask on the market over the last decade in s...

OK, I downloaded, installed and imported data into sleepyhead. What should i be checking for?

I have the dreammapper software. By the numbers, my apnea is under control with the machine, but the quality of my sleep (waking up with drymouth 40 times a night) is awful. That's the problem I was trying to solve by switching to nasal pillows so as to not have my mouth blasted with air all night.

I have been on APAP for a long time. My pressures are on the high side (avg around 16). For the last several months, I have been using a FP full face mask. Seal is decent and my AHI is generally below 1.5. The problem is that I wake up around 40 times a night with horrible dry mouth. The humidifier ...
