insomnia and BPAP use.

[cmsmws]

Hi.

I have a problem. I was doing great on my machine getting anywhere from 5 to 9 hours per night depending but due to another illness I have developed insomnia. Due to this I have not bee able to get to sleep with my BiPAP so I stopped using it. Putting it one justs drives me crazy trying to get to sleep. The Dr. has given me sleep aids but they are not working. My illness will pass, hopefully very soon but I want/need to get back on my machine but cannot due to my insomnia. Anyone have any ideas. I have to get up for work at 5:30 AM so staying up until I am tired is not an option.

Stuck between a rock and a sleepless place.
