Google "sleep maintenance insomnia" and start reading about potential causes....the list is endless.

I always look at medication side effects first because it is so common and then go from there.

Thanks

Hello to all, I am frustrated. I have been using my CPAP machine for at least 8 months now. Recently, I have been waking up in the middle of the night and NOT able to fall back to sleep. Not sure if its stress, or apartment becoming warm in the middle of the night, or not going to be late enough.......

Bed pillow preferences have been discussed a lot in the past here on the forum. Unfortunately the forum search function makes it a bit difficult to sort them out. The final verdict though....bed pillow preferences are widely varied and come with a big YMMV sticker. You can do a more targeted search...

The frame part of the mask will last forever with c...

Hello, For the second night in a row I have gone to bed around 10:30-10:45 in the evening, then for some reason I awake at between 3 and 4 in the morning. The first of the two nights I was able to fall back to sleep within the hour but the second morning (this morning)I woke up at 4 and couldn't get...

Thank you very much.
I also have another question. I read that there is an alternative to using cpap which is a mouthpiece which dentists can provide. Is there any validity to using this as an alternative to using the cpap machine?

Hi, Im new to this board and also have been new to using my cpap machine. I started in May of this year. Using the cpap machine has been great however it took a while to get use to sleeping on my side, with a tube, mask etc... My question is, why cant I sleep without the cpap machine? I went to a fr...
