What Percent of Chronic Insomnia Disorder Is Actually Caused by Sleep Apnea?

Post by D.H. » Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:43 pm

This article suggests that chronic insomnia may frequently be the result of some form of sleep disordered breathing.

For some reason, there seems to be a a benefit in using ASV machines instead of CPAP, APAP, or BiPAP; at least for the patient group studied.

Already been discussed a bit when Dr Krakow announced his findings here a couple of months ago.

Dr Krakow has long been someone who wants to use ASV for just about any reason related to the airway. He was big on it back 10 years ago when I first started therapy.
