What is more important: treating sleep apnea or insomnia?
Sleep Health | Last Active: 1 hour ago | Replies (14)Comment receiving replies
Have been discussing with the technician who has made many adjustments including starting with CPAP and moving to BiPap to see if that would help. Lots of adjusting with BiPap settings. I have gotten to the point where I can fall asleep most of the time but wake up after 1-2ish hours (which is a nice sleep) and can't fall back to sleep with BiPap on. Lol, it's like I got a nice couple of hours of sleep and now am wide awake! Have an appointment with both doctors soon and will discuss. I am really trying hard to make the BiPap work but it's so bad for actual sleeping.

Hi;
I too have moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnea. I started out with an AirSense 10 apap, but titrated to a bipap in the sleep lab.
Real world was a different story. No matter how we tried to adjust the bipap it was a “disaster” in my dr’s words. AHI went through the the roof.
I went back to the apap and have been doing better with that, though it’s not ideal. Something to consider.
