Question
OK. This does not happen all of the time. But when it happens it is usually after about 5am. I am 60 and use a cpap. The problem is not related to my cpap or sleep apnea. Some times if I have to get up from bed because my nose is stuffy I use saline spray and wait an hour or so before going back to bed when I can breathe again. I will go back to bed and fall asleep quickly. I will dream instantly and wake up in about 5 minutes. Then within a minute I will fall asleep again and dream instantly for about 5 min. and wake up again, fall asleep again dreaming instantly. This can go on for a couple of hours. It almost never happens early in the night or in the middle of the night. I am curious as to what the heck this is.
Answer
If youre having these awakenings at night it could have to do with your cpap settings not giving you enough of pressure or you may need oxygen attached to the cpap mask, discuss it with your physician . also go to sleepnet.com click on disorders sleep apnea and go to cpap.com feel free to email again karel
