(if I trust it, i dont know if its good or bad and it is what i see on the machine itself). But my dream is very bad with vivid dreams. I also had a dream monitor in a private hospital with bipap and even my apneas were zero, my dream efficiency was real bad. Wrote: I believe I had my CPAP set wrong in the past. Once I got it right, I've tinkered with it and gotten it adjusted a bit better.
RE: Has CPAP helped with nightmares and "harsh awakenings"?
Before I got a CPAP, every time I woke up my heart was pounding and I woke up very startled and mad.
Now with a CPAP, every time I wake up I feel super peaceful and soft. It's quite amazing! I've slept without my CPAP only one night since getting it (about 6 months in, I just totally forgot to put the mask on when I went to bed), and that morning I woke up startled and with a pounding heart. It made me realize just how much abuse my heart has received due to untreated sleep apnea. With regard to dreams... Before I got my CPAP, I had a variety of dreams (I had nightmares once a week to once a month.) Once I got my CPAP, I started having crazy and vivid dreams. After a month or so, my body seemed to have adjusted, and now I hardly have dreams. I think I've only had 1 or 2 nightmares in the year I've had my CPAP. |
