Find a mask that works and after a few weeks, you adjust. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I hope so. Just got the thing today, sleep study.. I hated it. I'm gonna wait til the weekend to use it here. |

Had the sleep study. My oxygen saturation at one point got down to 53%. Stick with it. Man, mine was a low of 85% and Dr, said, "Ummm, this is really bad, ummm kay?" Yeah I'm gonna use it, get used to it. Thing is, I had no idea. I don't wake up at night except once to take a leak, I dream very vivdly, feel fine when I wake up. But there was the graphs and all showing my sleep is all fucked up. |

It took me a couple weeks to get used to the CPAP. Stick with it, it's worth the trouble. Losing weight helps. Strenuous exercise before going to sleep helps. Melatonin helps, I prefer it to other chemistry. Staying away from the computer or television or video gaming before going to sleep helps. Good luck. |

Concerning the part in red, Google for a freeware named Flux and read the science behind it. It will help you understand how acclimated bad habits light interrupting the natural light cycle interferes with your body's ability to regulate your sleep through the timely production of Melatonin and interferes with your production and regulation of hormones. If you make an honest effort to control your exposure to wavelengths of light at unnaturally occurring times you will be shocked at the effect it has on your body's sleeping habits. |

I was the same way man. My saturation was down about 55 % and I don't even snore. Our sleep habits are very interesting to say the least. Now the wife's far worse off than I am but she absolutely refuses. Myself I just use a fisher pakyl nasal mask. My cpap is a lil different than most because I drive tractor trailer for a living and it has a jump drive built in if the scale houses that are set up for it to read my hours. I say big brother uses it to compare to my logs as well but that's a whole different story all together. Personally I say its a godsend as well due to my energy levels and when I wake up I'm not as tense. I don't need coffee ne more in the mornings. There's been a lot of pros that outweigh the cons. |
