I recently watched an episode of Dr.Oz; he was interviewing a sleep disorder specialist. He found a correlation between hours of sleep and diet; meaning lacking in a certain nutrient. You are a type - 1 and I included the link below. You will have to find the portion of the video's the pertain to; but I hope this tidbit of information solve your indomnia issue.

I didn't see anything that proved cause and effect. They make it sound like you will sleep better if you eat better. If there is truly a cause and effect, isn't it the lack of sleep that causes us to crave the wrong foods?

What do we do if we hate the recommended foods? I can count the veggies I like on one hand and the fruits on the other. And I don't like any of them that much. What can I do to suddenly like foods that have textures that I despise?

I think it is easy for people who naturally like healthy foods to blame everything on not eating them. But I rarely see any advice on how to like foods when you hate them.

Who would have thought it would be this challenging to sleep and breathe at the same time?

Unfortunately i am unable to offer reports i don't have the necessary Hardware yet to obtain them, i can however tell you that i cannot keep the mask on for more than 45-60 minutes without it causing me severe discomfort due to my increased heart rate hence being unable to sleep for more than 45-60 Minutes at a time it takes me a good 30-40 Minutes to fall asleep sometimes so much longer so i only have cpap therapy for 5-20 minutes at all times every night, i have an appointment at the Hospital on the 21st of May where i am confident they will take the machine back due to the problems it is causing me. I have had a MAD mad once but that gave me Jaw problems so another is out of the question.

Once again thank you for you assistance it is very gratefully received

Do I read correctly that your heart rate is going up when you're AWAKE and on CPAP? That's a panic attack kind of thing ... it's not apnea related at all, unless you also notice that you're not breathing much during that time (and aren't otherwise feeling panic'd)

If that's the case the solution is going to be a gentle and slow process of introducing CPAP to your routine.
