Re: Waking up every hour and a half.

The last couple of days I have had extreme runny nose and overall congestion that is hard to tolerate. It seems the constant air all night is irritating my nasal passage. My nose has been running like faucet all day. I am getting used to the therapy finally, but now I have encountered this new probl...

Re: Waking up every hour and a half.

Thanks for your reply Pugsy, I really appreciate all your help. I am not taking any medication and no supplements either. The original reason I even had the sleep study was because I had the same complaint of dreaming so vividly and all night and feeling very mentally tired. When I got diagnosed wit...

Re: Waking up every hour and a half.

Thanks for the input, I guess I am still in denial and looking for excuses to not use the cpap machine for the rest of my life. However, I have realized that I have to. I am fortunate to have acclimated to the therapy and the pressure setting of 6 is very easy to tolerate and from the sleep reports ...

Re: Waking up every hour and a half.

Need some opinion guys: So last night, I set my cpap machine pressure to 6.2 min. and 6.2 max and slept for about 7 hours. Still woke up about 3 times, but these days I can go right back to sleep within 15 minutes. In all, I slept about a solid 6 hours. I have found out that I feel better when I get...

Re: Waking up every hour and a half.

Just an update on my sleep: The past couple of nights I have been waking up less frequently and I think that is largely due to not looking at what time it is and basically just getting comfortable with the mask and falling back to sleep faster. Last night I woke up about 3 times, but rather then sta...

Re: Waking up every hour and a half.

Thank you SnoringinOregon, Last night I was able to sleep about 4 hours straight and when I did wake up after that 4 hours, I felt better then I have had in many years. I felt so refreshed and clear headed and energized, and was so happy. I must have had OSA for such a long time that I had forgotten...

Re: Waking up every hour and a half.

Thanks Pugsy, here is a Sleepyhead chart for last night. I can not pin point exactly why I wake up every 1 hour and half and some times longer, but last night I woke up around 4 to 5 times. the graph shows some leak rate spikes during the time I woke up, so that might correlate to something I did no...

Waking up every hour and a half.

Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with severe OSA back in mid February, wih AHI at 66 per hour and oxygen levels dropping to 79. I asked for the sleep study because of not only being super fatigued during the day but also experienced debilitating headaches and dizzyness, loss of fucus and concentratio...
