I also have the CPAP have had it now for about a year now. I never knew how sleep deprived I was. I have set it at 3.0 it helps from getting ear infection and clogged sinus. But each has his or her own setting that fits them. You might just need a few good nights of sleep also speak with the sleep people. I go in once a month and can change out certain portions of the gear. I clean it once a week. I have also found that i needed a nose pad so the bridge of my nose would not get so sore. I have taken the time every morning and make a daily log and print it out and take it in the clinic. It is sort of a diary of what is going on. They will ask just like going to the doctor and like most you have this blank that comes over you. If I have question or put them down I can turn that in and they can read over it and then ask or just keep it which they do and add it to my record.

Set some kind of a sleep pattern, you already have a set time of getting up but one has to get strict with oneself. Diet my help out some, working out during the day so you are ready for bed, shower and get all relaxed. But you over all best thing would speak with those at the sleep clinic get some up to date information from them.

Please say your source and tll me what’s wrong.

here’s the english version(just to check)-

Many of the sleep disorders can lead to serious problems if left untreated. For example, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a disorder that affects over 20 million Americans, can lead to serious cardiovascular and neurological problems. However, were treated, apnea patients reduce the risk of those serious conditions and dramatically improve the quality of their lives.

my spanish version-

Muchos de los desordens de sueño llevar a problemas serias si sin tartar.

Sin embargo, (were treated??), paceintes de apnea reduce el riesgo de esos condiciónes serios y dramáticamente mejora el calidad de nuestra vida.

If you’re as educated as you claim to be, go to the damned doctor, have a sleep study done and get a c-pap or by-pap machine, DUH.
I have it to, USE THE MACHINE.

Question by adia88310: My husband takes off his CPAP in his sleep.?
My husband started using his CPAP for severe sleep apnea about a week ago. He has the best of intentions, and really wants this to work out, but as soon as he goes into a deep sleep, he takes his mask off. I tell him to put it back on, and he gets confused or irritated. We’ve been doing this 4-5 times a night, and we are both getting quite frustrated. How do I help him keep his mask on at night????

Strap it or tape the mask down? Maybe strap his hands down for a few days while sleeping until he gets used to not taking it off and then see if he doesn’t take it off when given the opportunity?

Talk to his doctor, I’m sure they’ve heard everything they can probably help.

Question by : please please help!? I have severe sleep deprivation/sleep disorder!!?
Im 17 now, and this all started when i was 14. I started to sleep late to stay up with friends on the phone or chat because it was awesome at the time. At first it was harmless, but over the years I could never shake off the habit. Im 17 now and a senior at high school and what worked when i was 14 does not work now. Im overburdened with homework/projects/college applications and i simply cant do them because im too tired. I feel tired all through the day and come home after school to sleep for 3-4 hours, after i sleep i do homework/project/study for tests/ apply to college or whatever it is and cant sleep until 1/2 am. I wake up for school at 5:45 everyday and the cycle continues. No matter how much i try to keep myself up after school and do homework then go to sleep soon after, my brain just doesnt work. I need to sleep then wake up then sleep again so i never get a full 7/8 hours of sleep only breaks of sleep. Its been happening for years now and its seriously affecting me and i feel too tired to do anything, i just want to lay down and sleep all the time. Help me in any way? do i have a serious/dangerous problem? how can i fix it so i just sleep at night?

I suffered with insomnia for a long time too. Have you tried 5HTP (herbal)? It works amazingly for me, but different people get different results. Seeing as you’re under 18 you might want to check with a naturopath before self medicating
