Sleep Disorders

Assuming you are using it for obstructive sleep apnea, yes, and it may help by allowing deep breathing during sleep to aerate your lower lung lobes to make clearing the sputum easier. Use of guaifenesin (it is in Robitussin brand and generic versions of over the counter expectorant cough medicines and Mucinex) will help loosen secretions, too. Ask your pharmacist for recommendations.

If it is uncomfortable to use the CPAP machine, ask your health care professional if you should temporarily change the settings to make it still effective but more comfortable while your lungs and bronchial tubes are inflamed and irritated from the virus. Also contact them if your delivery system (full mask or nasal only) makes cough, sneezes, or runny nose a problem, there may be another delivery method that you could use during the worst of these symptoms. Keep the unit clean as you have been instructed for regular use.

If you are using the CPAP for reasons other than OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) then get advice from the ordering physician about its use during the flu in your individual situation.

[CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.]

eat cookies all day and fart less

nothing other than try again A glass of warm milk will help.

Very common. Can't sleep at night and all you wanna do is sleep during the day. It may subside for a while then look out no sleep near the end again. Your body is getting ready for sleepless nights once baby is born. Enjoy! Wierd dreams are very common too.

Most CPAP machines have a feature built into them that beeps to let the user know there is an air leak. This can be something simple such as a mask that is not well seated or sealed. It could also be a tear in the hose that is leaking air. A kink in the hose that is preventing the air from passing may also cause this. Start there. If you continue to have problems, contact your therapy provider or physician to trouble shoot further causes.

Talking in ur sleep is noe a sign of stress. You r probably just tired or worried about something so u say it aloud because I don't want to say it aloud

Snoring is caused when a flap of skin in the throat closes the windpipe. When a person breathes in and out, it makes that flap move. That makes noise. That is snoring. Try holding your lips together and slightly pushed out. Then breathe out. If you make a noise, that is the same principle. When some people turn on their side, that flap of skin falls out of the way and the person breathes normally. Some people require surgery to reduce the size of that skin. Others require c-pap machines to blow air in their throats to keep them from snoring. Some people have their breathing muscles get so exhausted from trying to push that flap of skin aside that they stop breathing. Their snoring kills them.

Anaesthesia awareness. It is a very very rare occurrence.

Of course a 12 year old should not do drugs, a 12 year old dont need drugs!?.. But just what kind of drugs are wee talking about here?

Alcohol have been close too ruin/take my life then i was yung, alcohol really wassent the drug for me, but i found one that was. Im not saying that everyone need a drug, and i hope not, but menny people do. And the drug i found actually saved my life a cuple of times,, -not that it nessesarily will do so for others im not saying that at all.. But yelling that drugs absolutely will ruin your life just sounds too harsh for me, espacially then i dont know what kind of drug is being talk about.. That is also the reason why i will not say the name of the drug i use, (you can properly quess it anyway..) -becurse a 12 year old should not get the wrong idea, there is no wonder-drug for every one, for all i know myself and my bigsister may be two out of a thousand..? (But who knows..?) If kids badly want too try out drugs then i dont think that trying too give them a bad contions will work, but good luck anyway..

PS: KIDS STAY IN SCHOOL! -PLAYING WITH DRUGS CAN WAITE UNTIL AFTER YOU GRADUATE COLLEGE, AND ONLY IF YOU ACTUALLY GRADUATE!..

at any time you want to.

The last time you get to go to sleep is when ya die

10 Liters is most manufacturer's recommended maximum

When you take sleeping pills you don't need to take headache pills.

You might be suffering from sleep apnea. It could be obstructive or central sleepapnea. When the airway is blocked, or when the lungs do not inhale as they are to do involuntarily, carbon dioxide builds up in the blood and a trigger goes off in the brain to awaken the body so it will breathe to get the needed oxygen. This might explain trying to wake up, not being able to move, and it is hard to breathe. This can be a very serious health issue.
Waking up this way is very hard on the heart. Reports link sleep apnea to stroke and heart attacks. The disruption to the quality of your sleep and the lack of oxygen to the body and mind can affect concentration, cause memory loss, visual impairment, fatigue, depression, muscle breakdown, etc. People who are tired from sleep apnea are more likely to be in automobile accidents.
A sign of sleep apnea is snoring. Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by the tissue in the throat relaxing and blocking the airway. Having a small airway and being over weight can contribute to the severity. Central sleep apnea is basically the lungs forget to breathe. For example, this may occur during the REM stage of sleep when the body is very relaxed and the mind is dreaming.
See your GP or a neurologist and schedule a sleep study. See if the cost of studies are covered by health insurance. A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine can address obstructive sleep apnea and to an extent central sleep apnea. There are varying machines available to address the problem.
When I was younger, I used to experience what you described and thought it was just night terrors. The severe health complications that occurred in my thirties eventually lead to the cause being sleep apnea.

Absolutely! My dog even goes into rem sleep every night. I love watching his eyes and paws twitch and his lips curl and sometimes i can even hear him huff and growl. It is truly hilarious. He looks like hes chasing something. I know it seems like something in Sims or cartoons but it really happens.

REM sleep occurs a few times throughout a night's sleep and last from about 90-120 minutes each cycle. The longest period of REM sleep occurs closest to the morning.

Bad idea. This could lead to alcohol poisoning, overdose, coma, liver failure, and even death. Although both of these substances can cause these things your increasing your chances for it to happen in about 5 minutes afterwards.

When you are asleep time does not pass any faster. Because you are asleep you have no way to tell time so it seems to go faster.

No. Nope, not even close

If you mean DREAMS... Your brain doesn't "turn off" at night. It will pull things out of your memory. It can be from a movie, book, reality... whatever. It makes up the craziest things sometimes to stay "running." Have you noticed you can't dream if you TRY to control it?

Generally several different thing can cause (RLS) restless leg syndrome. It can range from Diabetic Neuropathy from type 1 diabetics, poor circulation. Also a lot of HemoDialysis patients get RLS.....Hope this was helpfully The above poster gave good advice, but on a less scary thought restless leg syndrome is caused by the lack of Potassium in your body. My husband use to suffer from it. He went to a Homeopathic doctor who put him on pills with Potassium and Magnesium (Magnesium is needed to make the Potassium absorb in your body.) It took a few months, but it worked. I have a girlfriend that is extremely high strung and when nervous (she never sits still) she will bob her leg up and down constantly or stretch her legs. It is a good idea to also have your thyroid check out (T3/T4 blood test.)

The combination of behavioral changes, ventilation assistance, drug therapy, and surgery allow most people with sleep apnea to be treated successfully, although it may take some time to determine the most effective and least intrusive treatment.

The answer is simple: caffeine. The amount of caffeine in cocoa is not significant in comparison to, let's say, coffee, but it's still there. And, it will only pile up after several cups.

The solution: limit the amount of cocoa you drink before sleep or look for a caffeine-free cocoa. You should be fine. ☺

Around 8-9 hours sleep a night is best. As teenagers need enough sleep to get all there energy back
