Thanks Roger
Hey Roger, do you still have this for sale? Got a couple of questions if you do.

Does it come with the Humidifier?

It is an auto CPAP correct?

Re: Newbie here, just want to some help and encouragement

Sounds like it is habit for you and that may lessen with time. With OSA some of your pee breaks might have been related to the apnea and you just sort of got in a habit of "wake equals go pee". Maybe later the habit will lessen on its on as you learn to sleep more soundly. If not it might just be n...

Re: Newbie here, just want to some help and encouragement

Most people can sleep through the night without having to pee unless something else is going on. Now there is a difference between "having" to pee as in painfully full bladder and just waking up and figuring "I might as well go pee while I am awake". "Having to" is a common symptom of sleep apnea.....

And yes...I would gladly take that AHI.
Were you maybe on your back from that 1:40 time frame?
I only sleep on my back all night. Maybe 5% of the time on my side.

Re: Newbie here, just want to some help and encouragement

Why the bathroom breaks? Need to pee often during the day? Male and of an age the prostate is acting up? I drink a lot of water during the day and then at dinner, so I assumed that was normal. 2 bathroom breaks is not normal? Also not sure if I was awaken by the need to go pee or just something els...

Re: Newbie here, just want to some help and encouragement

Finally started to get results! I need to be in bed earlier because I get up so early, but finally seeing a restful sleep. Only 2 times of getting up, and that was to use the restroom. Good pressure, mask fit, and I think the AHI is pretty good?

Re: Newbie here, just want to some help and encouragement

Whelp I tried socks on my hands last night, and that last about 3 1/2 before I took one sock off my hand, and took the mask off. All without waking up at all. I woke up at 3:30 this morning to the air blowing out of the mask laying beside me. I am out of ideas to keep the dang mask on my face. Will ...

Yeah I might have to try the tape. I tried to use medical tape, but it would not stick to my skin.

I will google the sleep hygiene, and give some of them a try. Thanks!
let us know what works for you.
Thanks will do! Its been a struggle.

Re: Newbie here, just want to some help and encouragement

Any suggestions for keeping a mask on? Or is this more of a staying asleep issue that I need to work on? tape. or at least that's what some folks on the forum recommend. they say that pulling off the mask pulls the tape and that reminds you. haven't tried it myself as i've never pulled off my mask ...

Re: Newbie here, just want to some help and encouragement

Well had one of my better nights I thought last night. Seemed the machine worked well, but my crazy body didn't completely cooperate. Since Friday night I have been taking Trazodone and this new Dream Water. Getting to sleep hasn't been an issue, but staying asleep has been. Saturday I remember taki...

Re: Newbie here, just want to some help and encouragement

I am a firm believer in the fact that sometimes there is a time and place for some help with medications from a doctor. Short term to get over the hump and help the brain to settle down and become more accepting of having the alien plastered on the face. I always feel this is between the person and...

Re: Newbie here, just want to some help and encouragement

You know there are many disorders related to sleeping that aren't necessarily caused by airway issues. Everyone wants to put all their problems in the sleep apnea basket and want the machine to fix them but the cold hard fact of life is that problems unrelated to the airway cannot be fixed by the m...

Re: Newbie here, just want to some help and encouragement

Yes, something caused you to wake up....and then the flow reduced and the mask came off. From the air flow rate prior to when this happened I don't think it is airway related though. Wish I could say it was because that would be a relatively easy fix. Looks like normal asleep breathing and then WHA...

Re: Newbie here, just want to some help and encouragement

Are you awake when the mask gets removed? Awake as in you knowingly remove it or do you remove the mask when half asleep and don't realize it and then you wake up fully and realize the mask is off? So the first time I was awake because I remember waking up a night terror and I was screaming. I reme...

Re: Newbie here, just want to some help and encouragement

Okay, you are talking about the flat line immediate to the mask removal. See that big breath immediately before the flat line? That's an arousal or awake breath and then the flat line is either awake/arousal evidence of the machine not sensing breathing either because the mask is off and/or leak is...
