the number of consultants here probably dwarfs the number of employees at many small-mid size businesses.

1st night for me sucked. 2nd night changed my life, and I haven't fell asleep without it since. There are things I don't like (straps that rub painfully, whatevs) but I can't do without it at this point. Also, prepare for some fun dreams!

I've had super vivid dreams for the past year and a half. Didnt know that was part of apnea. They can't get weirderfacook said:
Last night I must have slept great. I did wake up suddenly at 4am but i made it to 4 am!!!! I did rip the mask off and go right back to sleep
But so far I've noticed. I get up a little easier, I'm not thinking about just want to go to sleep ALL DAY. Still groggy in the afternoon but not obsessive about wanting to take a nap. Hopefully, this will help with my impatience/anxiety. I think it was a combo of all of it. II definitely noticed a mood difference the past year or so.

So, if you had a bad day (like I have), which would you grab at the end of the day?
Chocolate mini donuts? or Pineapple flavored Vodka?
That's all I got

you have a roommate for a year or two and you can complain about the most petty things you hate about them.. and people will not just listen but encourage you to homicide them.
you have a wife for a decade or two, she salts the lawn, runs over the dog, drives your sweet ### T-Bird in to the river and claims to know nothing.. you even so much as acknowledge any of these things happen and everyone jumps down your throat about what a monster you are.

For me it's the donuts, every time. Based on my results, you might want to try the vodka.

Night 4 with the CPAP ... DID NOT GO WELL.
I thought this machine was supposed to end all this!@#!@
I lay down to sleep, with the air tickling at my nose. I decide to try to sleep on my back, always a stomach sleeper so this is taking some getting used too. The fluterring feel of my deep breaths are relaxing me and I drift slowly off to sleep. Around 11:30 (about an hour after I fell asleep) - BOOM - I awake, wide awake. I lay there for a moment trying to go back to sleep. I can't. Get up walk down stairs, go to the bathroom, sit on the couch for a few minutes. Go back up try to sleep. NOPE. Ok I'l try turning on the TV - that usually calms me and I'll fall asleep. NOPE. Turn off the TV, walk back down stairs. NOPE. So doing this routine for hours - I finally go back down stairs, turn on the TV and pass out around 3AM. The 5:30 alarm sucked today.
So now I'm angry, tired, agitated, caffeinated and exhausted.
This was one of the reasons I went to get tested

huh... I always remember my dreams better when I'm sleeping fitfully, not deeper REM stuff when I usually don't remember anything.

I had some weird dream last night where I was out with some friends and for some reason had to shower and change clothes but the only clothes available were my buddy’s wifes maternity clothes. Later I was in some old mansion being chased around by the ghosts of the Golden GirlsEl Floppo said:

No being serious, on mine I can change humidity, pressure, ramp up time and pressure, etc
But I do have nights where I get woken up for whatever reason and can’t get back to sleep with the damn thing on
belljr

I know - that was just a schtick play on my first post
Mine is set to AUTO between so it "self corrects"
I bumped up the humidity and changed nose guards 2 days ago.

define "moment"belljr said:
sleep is like any other habit. you have to train yourself to get good at it. wake up, stand up, make coffee, turn on the tv..... your brain is going to tell you to do that again the next time you get up. and the next. and the next, etc.
wake up, open eyes, lay there, close eyes.... feel the sweet, sweet release of sleep. your brain is going to want to do that the next time, etc.
and like any habit it takes time to develop a good routine. if you're going to wake up and want to go back to sleep, why get up and walk around? why not just stay there in bed? find a new position.. tell yourself a story about... anything. before you know it you'll be out.

i'm a Brown County Champeen sleeper.. 5-10 minutes is nothing. i still sometimes lay awake for 30-40 minutes but with eyes closed. depends on what i've done that day. or if i'm trying to go to bed early even if i'm not tired. Sunday nights are usually a ##### because i've slept in Saturday and Sunday.. and i'm not tired til 12 - 12:30 but i know i need to be in bed by 11 or i'm toast the next day. so i'll get in bed and lay there.. slowly winding down until i'm out.
ordinarily, i hit the bed and i'm out in under a minute (guessing as i don't know but it feels damned instantaneous).
took a long time to get to this state. used to be all over the map with bed & wake times. not drinking enough water. drinking too much caffeine. would sleep in fits and starts. wake up wired at 2 AM and stay up, etc.
anecdotal but what worked for me was a brute force routine. hard bed time, stay laying in bed unless it's an emergency, shift positions for comfort but no compromises like watching a bit of tv, reading for a while, etc. and if i woke up in the middle of the night... lay there. no rewards like getting up to raid the fridge, play a couple games of Tetris, etc. had to train my brain that bed is for sleep.
that said, i wasn't dealing with any medical issues that may have caused me to wake like restricted breathing, restricted blood flow, unstable bladder control, etc. for me it was just not respecting sleep and having to treat it with a proper level of seriousness. ymmv.

More roverkid:
She's been going to the first half of school one day, the second half of school the next. She's not there for lunch. Since this happened near the beginning of the year at a new school where she didn't know many people, it makes her feel like the weird kid that only shows up half the time. She's decided that she wants to stop going entirely and just switch over to self-paced online courses for the rest of this year. Hopefully she will recover and can start fresh with a normal year as a sophomore. It also helps me, since it saves me driving her there and back each day since she can't take the bus because of her schedule.

Just what my sleep doctor told me.Forgive the dumb question, but you did get it set by a sleep doctor, yes? Should be dialed in for you.

I'm trying the nose for a week or 2 then might switch if I haven't adapted

One of my less than stellar students has been up in the office all day.
I asked our dean (mid 30s soccer mom type) what the kid did. She tells me he broke another kid's calculator and then they fought about it.
I told her "a broken calculator? that doesn't add up".
Pretty sure she wants me to put some sex in her butt now.
