A sleep-deprived detective is sent to a small Alaskan town to investigate the murder of a teenage girl. Forced into a psychological game of cat-and-mouse by the primary suspect, events escalate and the detective finds his own stability dangerously threatened.
Although I wear cpap, I still wake up every two hours. I also awaken to find that I have ripped off my mask. Is my pressure to high? Can I reset it myself?
Hard to say. Could be you just need a different mask. Have a tried an Apap machine with variable pressure? That can make it more comfortable if you’re at high pressure. Plus it has the advantage of having software to help analyze you’re sleep patterns.
You’ll need to have you’re doctor prescribe the specific machine you want. That way the DME can’t give you whatever he has laying around.
www.cpaptalk.com is a great community for cpap users.
I’ve had mild narcolepsy and cataplexy. I manage it w/o drugs, mostly, with naps and sometimes a good night’s sleep. In the beginning I took some antidepressants against the cataplexy and a stimulant against the daytime sleepiness, but quit when I started having babies. Now, three years later, I’m finished nursing my children and will look into something to help the daytime sleepiness in the afternoons (driving, etc.)
What’s out there now for cataplexy. I hated taking antidepressants and would rather not start them again. Any advice?
Sarina
I have heard about Xyrem. Any experience with that or other drugs from those who know about narcolepsy and have experience with the current drugs would be much appreciated.
Don’t take medication geared towards mental health issues lightly. You really should be asking a professional. And if you don’t trust the answer, seek a second opinion from another professional. Many of these drugs are addictive or they have very serious side effects. No matter what you decide to do, you need to have a professional observing the effects the drug has on your brain and your body. The people answering your question on this site, cannot make these observations even if they know what they are talking about (don’t take that for granted). TALK TO A PROFESSIONAL!!!
I had sleep paralysis twice in my life, I really liked the experience. It was a bit scary the first time.
Are there ways to induce sleep paralysis?
Thanks.
You are much more likely to experience sleep paralysis while sleeping on your back.
I need to know, as I am interested in this. also, does anyone know if I would have to become a neurologist first?
The field is called "sleep medicine", just like one of it’s principle professional journals, Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.

Sleep disorders as a group are either called dyssomnias (includes insomnia) and related parasomnias.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_disorder
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysomnia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasomnia
These are usually treated by pulmonary (respiratory) physicians, not neurologists.

I am very fatigued during the day and do not have energy, I am a little shakey and not super happy and energetic like I used to be.
At the height of my sleep apnea, the symptoms were;
heavy loud snoring,
teeth grinding,
getting up frequently at night to urinate urgently,
feeling groggy/logy most of the day,
falling asleep mid lecture (if sitting down),
falling asleep at odd times & then popping back up realizing i was asleep,
falling asleep while driving (scary)
getting home from work & napping until it was time to go to bed,
Get a sleep study done asap! apnea is life threatening!
i now sleep using a CPAP/BIPAP machine & virtually all those symptoms are gone!
Treatment for sleep apnea is determined by the individual’s specific sleep apnea characteristics. Treatments include:
1. Behavioral changes
2. Physical or mechanical therapy
3. Surgery
4. Medication is not usually an effective treatment for sleep apnea.
For a more detailed overview of each of these types you can view the link below.
I’ve tried tapping him- but it wakes him- and the snoring only stops temporarily. I’ve tried pinching his nose, kicking his foot, tickling him. The snoring doesn’t wake me out of my sleep, but if I’m not asleep yet it keeps me up.
I do snore- but I wake myself up when I snore(my own snoring noise wakes me before it wakes him.) I’ve learned to adjust my pillow so that my airway is more open- then I do not snore-
He usually starts out on his stomach but when he rolls to his back that is when the problem starts.
If both of you are snoring loudly and throughout the night then you should see a doctor, because most people who snore badly don’t realize they have a sleeping disorder that is unhealthy. Regular snoring should be like a kitten’s purr and only last for a while. Loud, constant snoring is caused by an obstruction in the air passageway which interrupts the sleep cycle. Typically if you turn the person to their side or belly the snoring should stop cuz it opens up the airways. Best to ask your doctor about it at the next physical.
