Vivid dreams

Yayoe10 · Post by **Yayoe10** » Sat Jul 08, 2017 3:38 pm

I have really VIVID dreams every single night basically . Mostly it's the second half of my sleep. After I wake up during my first 4 hours of sleep and go back to sleep, the second half I usually have very vivid dreams. Rarely I have vivid dreams in the beginning of my sleep, mostly when I work out at night and try to sleep after I will. Could this be from CPAP treatment or something else ? Can anyone relate ? I never used to have so many vicid dreams. I'm 22 years old. It sucks because the vivid dreams make me feel not as rested. Even when I try to nap (which I rarely do now) i start having vivid dreams as soon as I start dozing off for my nap so it feels like I didn't even nap.

if your machine says "CPAP" in the lower right hand corner, then yes, you got the junk model.

As per fitbit community, our brains become more active in the 2nd half of the night and we dream during this time. So I guess what you are experiencing might be normal.
(for me, I almost never remember my dreams, and I am trying to figure out why )

Pasting excerpt from their article here:

REM SLEEP

The first phase of REM sleep typically occurs after you’ve had an initial stage of deep sleep. You generally stay in REM sleep for a longer period of time during sleep cycles occurring in the second half of the night. During this final stage of sleep, your brain becomes more active. Dreams mainly occur during REM sleep, and your eyes move quickly in different directions. Heart rate increases and breathing becomes more irregular. In principle, muscles below the neck are inactive to avoid acting out dreams.

REM sleep has been shown to play an important role in mood regulation, learning, and memory as your brain processes and consolidates information from the previous day so that it can be stored in your long-term memory.

there are four airsense 10 models.

CPAP= junk
Elite = fixed pressure with data
AutoSet = auto adjusting, with data.
AutoSet for her = autoadjusting with extra mode, and data.

like I said, if yours says "CPAP", it's the junk model.

I too have this problem. Later on in the night you tend to spend more time in REM portion of the sleep cycle.

Via WebMD:
The first period of REM typically lasts 10 minutes. Each of your later REM stages gets longer, and the final one may last up to an hour. Your heart rate and breathing quickens. You can have intense dreams during REM sleep, since your brain is more active

--------

My theory is that because muscle paralysis also occurs during REM sleep, this increases the arousals one experiences if one has apnea/UARS. As a result your dreams feel much more vivid and real, because you're "waking up" during them.

What is your formal diagnosis? Perhaps you are not getting enough therapy from your PAP machine?
