Re: Sleeping 10-12 Hours a Day Even with CPAP [SH Included]

if there was a $1,000 bill on the dresser every time you got up with the alarm you would be up before the alarm. You need to train yourself to get up. louder alarm that doesn't quit until you get up and walk across the room. self responsibility. fix it now or you'll tend to get fired when you go to...

Hello, I have been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea (~90AHI, 80~90% blood oxygen levels) in August, and have been using CPAP religiously ever since October.

Re: Sleeping for 9-11 Hours a day even with CPAP, Help!

Well if you want to get your data from your machine to your computer then yeah...you need something to transport that data. Any generic SD card will work for pretty much all the machines out there that uses a SD card. I got mine at WalMart...cheap generic works just fine. First off, I really apprec...

Re: Sleeping for 9-11 Hours a day even with CPAP, Help!

I agree 4 might be low but we don't know what the machine is even going to right now. Just because it can go to 10 doesn't mean it is going to 10. I mean for all we know it barely makes it to 6 cm...that 10 cm max...it may never even come close and the OP is complaining of aerophagia...is he gettin...

Re: Sleeping for 9-11 Hours a day even with CPAP, Help!

My pressure is from "4-10". Hope this helps... It should help you. A minimum pressure of 4 is not often optimal. It's too low for most people. Let's see those SH details. It might be easy to do some tweaking and achieve more sound sleep and better recovery in fewer hours of sleep. Thank you for you...

I didn't feel decent or well until I slept 11-12hrs per day, which I very rarely was able to do. The people here h...
