what do I do if I have insomnia?

[quantumleap]

I have sleep apnea. I can't sleep without my sleep apnea mask.

Interesting. My biggest concern is that the sleep apnea mask will wake me up multiple times during the night. As mentioned before, I had a ring I wore that was a pulse oximeter. It measured my pulse and blood oxygen level. The sleep study people use this to determine if your blood oxygen gets low during sleep.

The MFer was kind of tight and the pressure kept waking me up at night. I'm afraid a sleep mask will do the same thing and it will defeat the purpose of getting a good night's sleep.

It takes a lot of getting used to I will admit. For the first month or two I had a hard time falling asleep with it but now it's like second nature and I can't sleep without it

Do you normally sleep in separate beds from your wife ? You’ve mentioned sleeping in that spare bedroom at times.

When our dog Zeus got sick I moved into the extra bedroom to give him more space in the room and now that he's passed I never moved back

I have not be able to sleep since my mid 20's. Usually knock myself out with Lunesta or Ambien AND trazodone.

Forgot my medication on a trip to Washington DC a few years ago and was up for three days straight.

I don't like pushing pills but try Valium if you need to take a nap. The natural shit does not work and unless you do physical work every day, your body won't tire out.

Yeah this is so true, if you don’t have some physical aspect about your day you will definitely struggle to sleep from my experience.
