Don't you people ever sleep?????

[Dakotaranger]

This should say it all

Actually, I've only been getting four hours lately and I'm not sure if it's the dang hornets or my neighbor or all the coffee I've been drinking lately

So it's almost noon EST, and I'm probably the only one awake?

Can't get used to the danged mask and hose myself.

Doc's give a half dozen different sleeping pill 'scrips to try. Some don't work, and the ones that do make me feel worse the next day than I do when I don't sleep at all.

Been dealing with Sleep Apnea for several years. 

I can't do full face masks but here is what has worked for me.

I have used the Swift II for several years and it works well.  My hair is growing out and that makes the straps more of a hassle so recently I have been using the model below.

Have been using this for about a month and don't notice I have it on any more.  The "bit" takes a few weeks to get used to, but it is very easy to take off and on.  Nothing to adjust after the initial fitting adjustments are finished.  This might take a night or two.  this model is a little more difficult to use if you sleep on your side as the pillow will put pressure on the mouth piece if you do not "molud" the pillow to give it clearance. 

For a general sleep aid, I use Melatonin.  I have mentioned it here before.  Research it on the Inet.  It is a normally occurring hormone that diminishes with age and regulates sleep patterns.  3mg is the "favored dosage" for a sleep aid, but I do fine with one 1mg tablet each night and a second should I awake before morning.

Nope.

Can't be expected to use the mask of any type if I can't sleep!  I have found one that I can use when I am able to sleep.  My sleep Dr. told me to go to my Family Dr. for meds and he won't give me anything to keep me asleep, just put me to sleep and that doesn't work all the time.  Doesn't seem that either of them think my problem is serious enough to worry about!

I've heard it said that Insomnia is nothing to lose sleep over.

Don't think I've had a decent night's sleep in close to a year. Life and women inparticular REALLY have a way of f#$&ing with your mind.  I have found a way to cope however, a strict diet of Ambien and Red Bull. Next thing you know I'll be a narcaleptic.....ZZZZZZZZZZ

Sleep?  Heard of it.  Haven't had any in about a week.  Hour or two here and there.  To many worries.
