RE: Central question
It's possible there are some of both Obstructive and Central Apnea which is what I have. Insomnia is pretty common with Apnea as it's triggering a fight or flight response. Do whatever is more comfortable, using PAP or not, and if you must then sleep in the recliner. Do take notes on symptoms and tell doc about all of it, fatigue, blood pressure, insomnia, ER visits, and so on. Let us know about any progress or problems on getting the new machine, and I'd consider requesting a ResMed next time. Ask us about any questions that come up.
INFORMATION ON APNEA BOARD FORUMS OR ON APNEABOARD.COM SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED MEDICAL ADVICE. ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF A PHYSICIAN BEFORE SEEKING TREATMENT FOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING SLEEP APNEA. INFORMATION POSTED ON THE APNEA BOARD WEBSITE AND FORUMS ARE PERSONAL OPINION ONLY AND NOT NECESSARILY A STATEMENT OF FACT.

RE: Central question
Sometimes "nice" isn't the best choice! I had a Phillips Respironics 560 Auto for 5 years and and for the last 2 years couldn't get it dialed in for optimum results. The switch to the Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset for Her made a significant difference. There is a lot of info here on this great forum on why the Resmed is better for most people--I'll let the more technical people explain the difference.
