Since having started on my CPAP machine
on Sept. 10th, my wife says I've stopped snoring. That in and of itself, is a big deal. I was a loud snorer at times. Enough to wake my wife from a dead sleep. She kind of got used to it, but says it's soooo much nicer now that I have stopped.
The other thing is that I've started weening myself off of OTC sleep aids. Specifically, Diphenhydramine HCI, 50 mg soft gel capsules. I usually took two at a time.
I've been taking them for a couple of years now. Even if I felt that they may not be necessary. It became a habit to try and insure a good night's sleep. I've still been taking them while using my CPAP machine.......out of habit.
Tonight will be my 3rd night in a row w/o them. I'm kind of on a mission now. I really want to stop using them. I was going to wait and let my CPAP machine hopefully take it's course naturally. But, I thought I'd chip in some and hurry up the process.
Just kind of curious if anyone else is dealing with the same issue?
