My first sleep study I didn't go into REM sleep at all, then my next I did go into REM sleep, stopped breathing 32 times, so he put me on the cpap then. Not very attractive thing in the bedroom A definite mood killer when you partner looks and sounds like Darth Vader
I need to try the Melatonin pills again, the 5mg, ones that dissolve under the tongue. The best I can remember they helped. I hate taking meds.
In all honesty, I take temazepam along with other meds at night. Temazepam just happens to be the newest addition. I don't stay asleep on it. I was instructed to take another dose with early AM awakenings, just to get back into the pattern of sleeping longer hours. I also try to make sure I am physically very tired.

I am and am not looking forward to the CPAP. I know of many people who feel much better (sleep apnea) with CPAP.

I hope you can sleep better soon.
