I seem to be in the pattern of waking up after about 6 hours. My back hurts from sleeping in the same position. I have lost some weight and it has helped a lot. I sleep for 6 hours, wake up with back pain, do some stretches, then go back to sleep. That has been my routine for a couple of weeks now.

Benedryl has no effect on me. So I don't take it. I have had so many sinus and allergy problems, I guess I have rendered it useless.

I guess I will get the Melatonin 1 mag and try 1 tonight, if that doesn't work 2 tomorrow and so on.

I did not take any sleep aid last night and I ended up not sleeping with my mask at all. I tried, but ended up taking it off.

I am getting frustrated. Also I will call my ENT today and find out what I can and cannot take. I am going to get my deviated septum fixed in March and I know there is stuff I am not suppose to take before my surgery, I just can't remember what.

Benadryl and melatonin knocked me out for hours !!! Slept 12-14 hours. Haven't used during cpap therapy. Sleep doc strictly forbids me to use any alcohol, sedatives, etc..... Although I've been tempted to try at times, to improve 6 hours max sleep.
