I am convinced that's the issue with my apnea too....I can't get my stupid head over it. I know that once I sleep a whole night through and wake up the next day, I will be ok from then on...however it's getting to that point that is proving difficult.

I got a new mask, and have tried 3 nights with it on. Longest I slept with it on was 2.8 hours. I haven't worn it for the last week because I was getting home later and there was no way I was going to lay there for hours trying to get to sleep. It's been taking me at least two hours to fall asleep with the mask on. I need to put it back on now though...don't want to though :)

I do have sleep apnea and it is not currently an issue and I have already eliminated blue light from my bedroom and surrounding areas. My alarm clock light gets shut off as well. I drone on to my son about how he can't sleep at because his brain is too active from playing xbox so late, so I don't stay up with the computer or tv either. I actually don't really watch tv often. Caffeine is a morning only addiction for me and I drink drink pop so I don't get it that way either. I don't take meds for sleeping or really any kind of meds before bedtime because they usually have a paradoxical affect on me :( I am sure it is more of a mind of matter thingy for me, but I wish my mind would get over it...lol


I hear you. I too had some mild sleep apnoea, but I cannot get used to the CPAP, so I don't use it.

On nights where I do sleep okay medicine-free, I usually wait until I'm super-tired regardless of time, and then I just get in a comfortable foetal position and think happy thoughts, i.e. I like cars, so I'll think of cars I want to own someday, or positive people I know, and many a times, it helps me retire.

Glad to hear that you do not require the machine. Have you been under more stress than usual lately? Treat yourself to a day spa and see if you sleep through the night after getting pampered with a good massage. Hope you feel better soon!

Masturbation helps.

Actually I know it's a bit away but I booked next Friday off work...my kids aren't home....I can sleep in....now with your suggestion I will also book a massage....and then I am on vacation the next week, with kids, but just chillaxin'

What I think I need to do is find a reiki practitioner in town...mine moved to burlington. I felt sooo much better when I had reiki treatments :)
