Hi, does anyone have experience with Circadian rhythm sleep disorder? I believe that I may be suffering from it, but I'm not certain. Would it be possible to have Circadian rhythm sleep disorder and insomnia overlap, specifically with CRSD affecting constantly waking up in the night? Anyone have any...

I think my biggest failures on that list would be bad sleep hygiene What about your sleep hygiene is poor? I think I have a real issue with staying off screens prior to sleep. Both because of work and I just have really terrible discipline staying off of electronics. I also don't do the best job of...

Some medications can cause insomnia and/or can affect the sleep architecture and even prevent a person from getting much REM stage sleep. It is possible that the lack of REM was nothing more than not enough sleep to move through the needed sleep stages because you ran out of time. I had something s...

Maybe if I relare my story, you can get some insight. I definitely have OSA, but it went undiagnosed for about 7 years.

Thank you kindly to everyone who has chimed in on my thread. I attached my sleep study documents on this post and the following post. Do you guys agree with the sleep physician's interpretation that it's unlikely that sleep apnea is cause of my sleep issues? Is the lack of any REM sleep a cause for ...

Would it at all be possible to post my sleep study (with my personal information blacked-out) to have it interpreted just as a means of easing my mind and restoring confidence in my sleep physician's interpretation? Yes, please do. You might also want to redact the names of the physician and facili...

Hi, I recently had a sleep study done and my physician stated that I did not have any significant apnea events or sleep disturbances registered during the study.
