Sleep apnea, little REM sleep, insomnia?!


Question: Sleep apnea, little REM sleep, insomnia!?
Hi there-
Recently diagnosed with moderate to severe sleep apnea!. Also it has been stated that I am not staying in REM sleep for any useful length of time!.
I usually sleep very little at night!.!.!.always have been nocturnal!.

I sleep best during the day!. But the last 5 months have been rough!.
I only stay asleep for a couple hours and then feel hyper and irritable when I get up!.

New diagnosis of sleep apnea and very poor amount of REM Sleep!.
I am doing a titration study tonight with c-pap machines to see what volume works for me!.

I would like to hear from others on how if at all treatment has helped!?
If your situation is similar to mine as far as minimal amounts of sleep with diagnosis of apnea!?

What can I expect with treatment!. Some have said they feel better right away!. Others have said it takes awhile!. I would like to hear anyone else's experience with this!.

Thank you!.

PS!.!.!.Do you ever adjust to life with that machine stuck on your nose!?
And is there sex after c-pap even if your significant other doesn't have a thing for Darth Vader breath sounds!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I have the same problem!. I am on a cpap machine I use the full mask!. If there is a problemu will feel better right away!. I think that it is all linked to oxygen in the body!. I pap machine is like a small humidifer which u breath in thru your nose!. do u have sinus problems!? If your nose is plugged all the time, a full mask will force u to breath thr your nose!. The first night I slept 12 hrs!. I never woke up!. I found out that I was exhausted, maybe half dead and did not know it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
