Naps: Good? Bad? Does napping work for you?

Nocturia - urinating (peeing) at night, especially frequently is a symptom of central sleep apnea. Fatigue during the day is another. You should get evaluated by a neurologist who treats sleep apnea. A c-pap will not help you if you have central apnea (it could make it worse), although a bi-pap might help. There is a new treatment called Remede system, but it's now widely available except in large cities. Medicare has approved payment, although it reviews each case prior to authorization.

Thank you, @hindsight for trying to help but I know that it is not sleep apnea. Due to a medication I have to take I have to drink a large amount of water during the day to keep my kidneys happy. My nocturia is worse when I delay that to later in the day. The combination of a large amount of fluid with definite incontinence is the problem.

I know it is incontinence because I experience it during the day also. When I was out shopping in stores more I basically knew where every ladies' room was. I fear long drives where there will not be facilities on the way because I can't make it more than a couple of hours generally. That pretty much says it is nocturia/incontinence not sleep apnea.
