Has anybody had sleep paralysis where even after getting up out of bed the sleep paralysis continues? Happening last couple of days and it's freaking me out. It feels like my body still thinks it's asleep. This happens after suddenly waking from dream stage of sleep.

So I was dreaming alot last night and woke up as I was still dreaming. Woke up with that feeling again of my brain feeling like it was going to shut off and the tv and my wife's voice in the other room sounded really far away. My heart started beating fast and felt like I was going to die. Am i waki...

Not sure why but I feel alot worse since starting with cpap machine. I am tired all day with the need to sleep multiple times. The fatigue is overwhelming at times. Snapshot below of the last 2 days. I'm using nasal pillows and wonder if maybe I'm breathing through my mouth at night? Maybe my body ...

Ok, I thought you should boil all water like you would in a neti pot?

I have cpap resmed auto sense 10. Can I use tap water in the humidifier? I ran out of distilled water. Should I boil it first? Is it safe?

So I increased minimum pressure to 8. Should I keep it at 8 or increase? Here are last nights results:

most important-how did you sleep? how are you feeling when you wake up?

Not great and not bad. I haven't been waking up suffocating anymore. Which is good.

So even though my ahi was under 5 at 2.49, why do you think I'm still waking up multiple times at night? Are other settings correct for now? No ramp? 1) 5 is a crap target, an ahi of 5 means your sleep is being disrupted at least every 12.5 minutes, on average, all night long. It's good enough for ...

I have always woken up for many years to go to the bathroom 4-8 times per night. That's a classic side effect of untreated obstructive sleep apnea. So you think I should set minimum pressure to 8? I'm betting on 10, but let's work up to it. So even though my ahi was under 5 at 2.49, why do you thin...

It tells me you have terrible sleep quality and wake up often....why? Any known reason? Do you take any medications of any kind? If so, what? I take Synthroid and citalopram in the morning and a small amount of Xanax at night before sleep. I am under a lot of stress lately. I have always woken up f...

So this is last nights data. Can anyone tell me what this says? I am using a resmed auto sense 10.

Andre, Geer1's post that includes Oscar information is a really good one, and I hope you'll do as he suggests. That will help the experts help you. Once they can see exactly what is going on, they may be able to help you change your settings to increase your comfort. The experience of trying to sle...

Your anxiety MIGHT be caused by the sleep apnea. When your body is struggling to breathe, it cranks out stress hormones to try to get you to wake up and BREATHE. So you may find that once your apnea is well treated, the other symptoms might have better control. Then you can re-evaluate the meds. In...
