Sleeping...... should say NOT SLEEPING

[Itsafeething]

I don’t sleep, am like a yo-yo up and down all night , I get 2 hours max, it’s a vicious circle, am on quitiapine, and pain killers and gaba penton, at night, I’m disabled as well so I can’t do much, am at my wits end, feel like am going crazy,

Am away to get tested for sleep apniea,

Any advice plz xx

Having had Sleep Apnea for 78 years I would guess you could be correct, but the Sleep Clinic will be able to tell immediately. At the moment the standard treatment is a CPAP machine, and a mask, both very successful. Some people do have difficulty in wearing the mask, but always consult with the very competent staff, who,s advice will be stellar. Good luck

Sound like I was! OSA confirmed, CPAP supplied and now I sleep 7 - 8 hours a night. As Lybra says, it does take some tolerance to get used to the mask but it's worth the effort!

Good luck
