I have just received mine and every time I try to use it, I get cramps in my toes and muscle twitching in my legs. At first, I could only use it for about 15 minutes. After 3 days, I’m up to about 40 minutes, but I do not fall asleep and I can’t keep using it after the twitching starts. Once I turn off the machine, it takes about half an hour before the twitching subsides.
My provider is very supportive. She’s changed the settings twice and I’ve noticed some improvement. I have a ResMed VPAP ST.

I have recently been diagnosed with sleep apnea and just got a CPAP machine. It’s taking some getting used to, and I have used it only during the day so far when I’m awake. Hopefully, I’ll get used to it soon and will be able to use it when sleeping.

My question: What benefits did you users notice? I have extreme daytime fatigue and often feel like I’m functioning at only about 50% cognitively. Do you feel more alert and focused from improved quality of sleep with the CPAP?
I just got the CPAP today. I spent about half an hour with the mask, with the technician monitoring and giving me instructions and etc. When I had my last sleep test, I spent some time awake with it on, and managed to sleep a few hours with it.

I’m not accustomed to anything on or near my face when I’m sleeping, and I have to stay pretty much in one position.

I plan to try to sleep with it tomorrow night. It’s not like I’ve had it for months and am refusing to use it! It’s just new and foreign to me.

Can I do an online preliminary test?

I sleep for around 8 hours a night, but I often wake up tired and have to hit the snooze button for over half an hour, and then spend the rest of the day tired. I also make periodic limb movements during my sleep (so I’ve been told).

Thanks

I have been diagnosed with a deviated septum, and am undergoing surgery for it at the beginning of next year. I informed my doctor about these headaches I've been having in the morning. Well they're a little different from headaches, more like pressure above my eyes. I find the longer I sleep the worse they become. Also after sleeping about six hours I find it impossible to go back to bed without waking up at least every hour. I had a sleep test done, but according to that I didn't have sleep apnea. I'm wondering if the results could be wrong seeing as I was only able to sleep for about half an hour and they must not have been able to collect enough data. Could this pressure above my eyes be a sign of sleep apnea, or could they just be due to my deviated septum? I also find I don't really get overly sleepy in the day, however if I'm lying down and watching T.V or reading I will dose off.
