Quitethe1 Therapy Thread from CPAP to ASV
#81
RE: I need sleep badly! Any help with OSCAR is appreciated
I had some trouble sleeping when I first started ASV. Popping a Benadryl or two was usually a good way to knock me out, but can make you feel a little groggy in the morning. It should get better with time as you find your routine.

Sleeprider does have a habit of giving us better sleep with the side effect of lightening our wallets.

Yeah, I’m going to try the Benadryl tonight. I start work at 6 during the week so I might try taking one earlier in the evening. 

Sleeprider would be happy if I got more hours of sleep. 

If Sleeprider told me to get 3 more machines for better sleep, I wouldn’t be here, I would be searching the internet for them!

I think you're all set for now. I don't get a commission from any of this, so you can just relax for now. I will be interested to hear an update when you share your success with your doctor.

            I am having Sleeprider withdrawals!!  I feel like I need my hand held at all times.  Here are 3 days for your review.

I think my biggest complaint right now, is when the machine ramps up to kill the CA and wakes me up.  At least 4-5 times a night.  

I know what it is doing and I go right back to sleep.  

I'm curious to know if it can be seen on the OSCAR data.

You're at 3-15 pressure support range and that can be a lot when the machine ramps up. Care to dial that back to 3-12 and give me some feedback with that?

        Much better, not waking up at all now.  I can't really feel any air pressure either.  Not sure what the data shows, but seems to be better.  I forgot to turn the ramp off, but I will tonight.

Thanks for the help Sleeprider.

Your numbers look much better. Sleeping a full night is the first big hurdle to get over with ASV. I hope that change is also reflecting in how you feel as well.
