    Poopy, are u over weight.? If CPAP not for u then, the only way that might help is losing weight. I am writing this msg at about 5 am after getting up at 3 am . I suddenly got up from my sleep and cannot get back to sleep. I have apnea too and have been waiting for a cpap machine to try from the hospital but it's taking ages to get response from them. I know it is so frustrating and tiring. Cheers

    It is good to hear of others problems are like mine.  I had a few problems snoring but not one of tiredeness.  I cat nap when I want to which I have always done, on trains and planes etc.   I wanted a mandibular device so I did not disturb my family, but got a night in hospital.   Then a CPAP machine which is horrible.   I am not sleepy during the day, perhaps a little after lunch, but now am threatened with losing my driving licence.  What the hell is going on.  The CPAP machine certainly does not help.   I am better without it.  Does anyone know what data it transmits or stores.  It is a resmed device and is horribly invasive and uncomfortable.  The doctor said it will solve all the problems, which is rubbish.  They cost £800.  This is a dystopian pseudo science nightmare.  What is a nasal pillow?

    Nothing worse than feeling tired and sleepy, I also suffer from sleeping disorder and finally I consult with my doctor, he advise me to buy modafinil pills online and have it 2 times in a day. You people cant trust me its very effective medicine, now I always feel fresh and relax during work hours and I am so happy with modafinil medicine effect.
