Are there absolutely any remedies or devices that can be used to treat central (non-obstructive) sleep apnea even just partially? My appointment is in a month. It's been doctor after doctor for years starting in high school. It has been years. Recently it was over a month to get in to see a cardiologist, then waited another month to get tested, and now over another month to see a sleep specialist. Is there anything (aside from basic sleep hygiene) that I can try in the meantime? I am not sure if oral devices work for central sleep apnea. I've heard mixed things about micro CPAPs. Any advice is appreciated.

Hey guys, i made a post in other community about this so i will post here too, please let me know if you have anything that can help me.

So this started some days ago, i have been very worried because every time i go sleep i wake up randomly on the middle of the night. every time.

Some days ago i had some personal problems that really affected me and my mental health, causing me depression and difficulties enjoying things and always having the stress feeling over me. Those problems will probably keep up for at least a year, kinda like a constant negative feeling.

I googled up and i saw that Cortisol could have something to do with this and the stress feeling but what i dont understand is that i feel sleepy like normal, but cant get a deep last longing sleep anymore.

the maximum time i could sleep was about 4 hours, maybe 4 to 5.

I started to exercise a bit, i eat healthy food and all and i will keep up the routine to see what will happen but i would like to know if there is something i can do to be able to sleep more naturally.

I tried to get up right after waking during the night and do my things to see if next night i would feel more sleepy, i did managed to sleep a bit more but i dont know if this is a good way to do it.

Doctor consult here is hard to get and can take some time so for now i have to find a way to get better so please let me know if there is a way to attempt of relieving insomnia. thank you!!!!

Hi all!

I was recently diagnosed with neck myoclonus (also known as sleep-related head jerks), which means my neck twitches 30+/hour while in REM sleep (observed during a sleep study). The neck twitching is disturbing my sleep enough to cause sleep deprivation and excessive daytime sleepiness (my MSLT score was 7). The problem is that this sleep issue appears to be a pretty rare/abnormal one and there are very few resources out there even defining it, let alone providing guidance on how to treat it. My sleep doctor has only seen it a few times and has discovered some treatments through trial and error.

Is there anyone else out there who has been diagnosed with the same thing or something similar? If so, how have you managed to treat it? I am trying to research alternative treatments beyond medication and I am hitting a total dead end. Please help an exhausted and apparently twitchy person!

(Also please let me know if there is a better subreddit for this post)

If you had asked me yesterday, I would have laid down cash money betting against my ever being unpleasant when woken. But since someone brought it up, I asked around, and everyone agrees that I can be very mean when woken up: angry, yelling, even swearing at them. I have absolutely no recollection of ever doing this - not even once. My partner says it happens regularly, like at least a few times a year. I don't think it's even really in my character? Like if you asked me to act like that for performance art or something, I wouldn't even know what words to use? It's completely baffling to me, and horrifying, to wonder what contexts I've done this in. Apparently it was bad enough growing up that my siblings used to argue over who had to wake me up, and they called it "waking the dragon"?! Does anyone know if there's a term for this, how common it is, or how to control it?

I have a rare circadian disorder (my day is a bit longer than 24hr), but there's nothing in the literature about this that I've seen. Is this a normal thing?

I have ADHD and have struggled with insomnia my entire life, I have tried every method I could think of or learn in therapy in order to sleep better at night, but nothing works. I struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep.

I have taken several different medications to see what will work best to help me sleep, and right now I am on ambien, with a dose of clonidine when I wake up halfway through the night. I also take Hydroxizine with it some nights. Ambien has gotten to where it only helps some nights now.

When I get a decent amount of sleep, I usually feel fine when I wake up, but usually, if I have only slept a couple hours on and off, I wake up feeling horrible, same as if I take a nap.

I wake up with my heart racing so fast, my breath is short, my chest is tight, I am shaking very bad, sometimes I feel nauseous, sometimes my head pounds, my body aches, I break out into cold sweats, and I disassociate really bad afterwards. I don’t feel right the whole day after.

Share your RLS with me. I'm curious about what other people have experienced. What has helped your symptoms, and what has made them worse?

My RLS story: I've had RLS symptoms every night for a while now. I went through an agonizing period of a few weeks about a year ago where the sensations were intense and had spread to my entire body. I'm not sure what happened to cause those few weeks to be so bad. Since then, the severity of my symptoms has fluctuated every few weeks, but I still haven't pinpointed any triggers. I take iron before bed sometimes, but it only sometimes helps. I've also found that sleeping in a deliberately uncomfortable position on my belly helps my symptoms the tiniest bit, but I can't maintain that position for long. Recently, I discovered that Benadryl is a no-go. It makes the symptoms worse, and it takes longer for me to fall asleep despite being drowsy.

I can sleep anywhere, anytime. This is not a good thing. I get about 8 or 9 hours a night, but when I wake up at 7, I'm sleepy until 11. I have nodded off at my desk many times. If I don't force myself to get up on my days off, I can easily sleep 12 to 14 hours. Which is what I do most weekends.

I did a sleep study about a year ago and now sleep with a CPAP with no problems. I'm type 2 diabetic, recently diagnosed, cleaning up my diet, on metformin and Ozempic. I'm bipolar and on a mid stabilizer, anti depressant, and a anti psychotic. These medicines have been stable for a couple years now, not as long as I have had the sleeping issues. Plus my therapist says they shouldn't be making me sleepy anyway.

I don't know what to do. I'm lucky I haven't been caught sleeping at work so far, but it's only a matter of time. I do have some caffeine in the morning to help, but I don't think it does anything anymore. I eat a protein rich breakfast, low carbs. I drink lots of water.

Could this be a sleeping disorder? Or am I just cursed to be sleepy?

What kind of doctor would I even see for this?

Thanks in advance

My best friend — he could be my boyfriend, the labels are unclear right now — has what I believe to be undiagnosed ideopathic hypersomnia. His first appt for it is tomorrow.

Around 9 maybe 10 pm Friday night, he fell asleep without a word to me or any of his friends. We were supposed to play D&D together. I didn’t hear from him at all yesterday. I called and texted him several times throughout the day, hoping that I might be able to wake him up because I know he’d rather not sleep the day away.

I would have gone over to his house in person, but I live 1,000 miles away. I move back home in two more weeks. I eventually contacted his mom who checked on him for me. She said he had texted her around 6pm that he was awake, but he didn’t respond to any of my phone calls or text messages in which I expressed my worry and concern. His mom told me that she thinks his phone is dead, but I’m beginning to feel pushed away. I’ve still heard nothing.

What do I do?

Hi 👋

So the doctors are not really helping and I thought maybe redit might have someone who could shed some light on all this.

My partner (36M) has extreme fatigue, he is always exhausted and doesn't find sleep restorative. He sleeps 10 hours a night on a week night plus 1-2 hours of naps at the weekend he will sleep 12 hours+ a night, and will nap for anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. He just cant stay awake, but even when he sleeps he will wake up tired. We cant do anything, he willfall asleep after a trip to the supermarket with me.

Honestly its getting to the point I cry daily. I hardly get to spending time with him conscious and he struggles to do more that sit together on the sofa, ofte even conversation is to much (you can't have a good conversation with someone who cant keep their eyes open, their brain is half asleep). We have been putting off trying for kids and we aren't getting younger.

We have been trying to get help for 3 years but they haven't done more than a blood test and a sleep apnea test so far.

So from the blood test we know it's not a vitamin deficiency, thyroid issue, cancer ect and we know its not sleep apnea. He swears its not depression, he had that once before and says this is very different. Its constant so I don't think it's chronic fatigue as they have good and bad days. He doesn't sleepwalk, have any cataplexy, struggle to fall asleep ect. Its just that sleep doesn't help.

Any ideas? I am so desperate to help he so we can have quality of life again 😭

This is a new weekly thread. It allows users to ask anything they are looking for information on regarding sleep disorders. If you have a question, want an answer, and don't think your question is "post" worthy you can ask it on this thread. Let your fellow Redditors collectively answer for you!

I just want to share this post because it could change many people’s lives, and after everything we’ve been through with my child, I’m on a mission to spread the word 😭.

Below are the symptoms of sleep disordered breathing in kids, the solution of which is through a speciality called “airway centric dentistry” or “airway centric orthodontics”.

The only reason we found out about this is because our autistic/hyperactive toddler also has sleep apnea, and our life has been a literal nightmare since he was born (I say literal because his sleep apnea induces night terrors). We are all extremely sleep deprived and it has been a very long and upsetting journey advocating for him since very few ENTs, pediatricians, or pulmonologists are “airway informed”.

Basically the size and shape of the mouth, upper palette, and lower jaw effect the width/openness of the “airway”. In our child’s case his airway is so small from his super tiny mouth that it causes sleep apnea. But MANY MANY children suffer from a small airway and no one figures it out because it’s not “bad enough” to cause apnea. Instead you see symptoms like the ones posted in this photo.

Because humans are eating softer foods than our ancestors and less of us are breastfeeding (for many justifiable reasons), humans’ jaws are getting smaller and the upper palette isn’t forming correctly. Babies have to “work” to pull milk out of the breast, and the way their mouths have to shape around the nipple and suck, plus the tongue placement, helps the jaw form! (But even breastfed babies can still have issues!)

But bottle fed babies don’t have to work as hard, especially if we aren’t mindful of how we hold the bottle. This is NO ONE’S fault!! If I had bottle fed correctly my son would probably still have issues because genetically he was just born with a small mouth. (*citations at the bottom of this post).

As soon as doctors FINALLY took his tonsils and adenoids out, we noticed an IMMEDIATE improvement in so many of these symptoms. It was literally like watching a new child be born 😭

The biggest thing we noticed was a severe lessening of his hypersensitivity, his hyperactivity, and his demand avoidance!!! Also he stopped waking up with bags under his eyes.

But unfortunately it was only half of the solution, as expanding his upper palette and bringing his lower jaw forward through dental appliances is the second half of the battle.

Now, getting my demand avoidant toddler to comply with treatment is a whole other battle 🫠

But, it is so nice, after years of endless fighting, to FINALLY HAVE AN ANSWER. 😭

The truth of airway medicine is my new religion and I’m telling everyone I know.

At the end of this journey I will still have a hyperactive, demand avoidant, autistic child—as those things are just a part of who he is this lifetime. But. The INTENSITY of those qualities will be less than they’ve ever been, and think how strong I’ll be by then 🙌🏼😆

Honestly, if you have the resources to at least do an initial intake with an airway dentist or ortho in your area, even if your child is only presenting with one symptom on this list, I WOULD DO IT!!

But, please, if your child has even a few of these, do everything you can to get them evaluated. ESPECIALLY FATIGUE, SNORING, NIGHT TERRORS, AND MOUTH BREATHING.

🚨Absolutely NO child should snore. Snoring and fatigue are ALWAYS signs of an airway issue!!!

At our local airway and sleep center, our “initial eval” was $500, which came with: photos of the mouth and an exam by the dentist, a cbct scan (which gives you a FULL picture of the airway, sinuses, mouth, etc), and a 2 night in-home sleep study (just a ring they wear on their finger).

If there’s no airway issue you will know at the end of this phase. If there is the next steps are just finding the right “appliance” for them to wear.

If having their adenoids or tonsils removed is necessary, the dentist will absolutely let you know at this point, and you will be referred to an ENT. But many children just need the dental appliance!

Oh, also: airway issues in children present with the symptoms in this photo. BUT AIRWAY ISSUES IN ADULTS PRESENT AS: chronic fatigue, trouble, losing weight, intense cravings, for sugar and carbs, chronic inflammation and autoimmune issues, fibromyalgia, ADHD, depression, and anxiety!!

So, ya, needless to say I’m going through the evaluation process myself this Monday, and wondering if my child came to this earth to wake so many of us up to this issue. Or maybe that’s just the story I’m telling myself to make sense of it all.

Either way, below is a summary of what I recommend/resources and citations:

1. read the book “Gasp — airway health” asap!!! It will blow your mind.

2. read the NYT bestseller book “Breath” by James Nestor, it will explain so much!!

3. Google “airway dentist + your city” or “airway orthodontist + your city” and make an appointment for an evaluation. Make sure that eval includes a CBCT scan and a sleep study (a simple in- home one).

In my city I found an “airway dentist + sleep center” which had way more resources than the places that were “just” and airway dentist.

4. if your child does have airway issues, I would pair the dental interventions with myo therapy interventions. The dentist will likely recommend a myo therapist in house. Also check this out: https://youtu.be/3G0BTytPiYs?si=QOO0ZIygrdx5gUEV

If i could go back in time I would have had my cholic-y, reflux baby working with the munchee since infancy 😔

Ok, that’s it for now. Please spread the gospel and comment if you have any questions. I will try to get to them all! Like I said, this is my new religion and if our story can help even one family then it’ll be worth the effort in sharing it.

I’ve googled various things but cannot find anything related. I was wondering if anyone here has any sliver of information or experience.

So this is what he does: we’ll be sleeping, and he’s breathing normally(ish, he’s a really loud breather in general). Then, out of nowhere there will be one brain-rattling snore, that is extremely loud and sometimes I can even feel the vibration. Sometimes it wakes him up, sometimes not. Then he goes back to normal.

That’s it. Just the one inhale, and then it’s all over. It usually only happens once a night, and not every night (though most nights it does). It’s early in the night, I’m usually still awake. It rarely wakes me up in the middle of the night.

He had a deviated septum and polyp removal surgery a year ago, that became warped again, but much milder (still waiting on the surgery to fix that). Other than some seasonal allergies, he has a clean-ish bill of health.

What the actual F is going on here? Literally anything to point me in the right direction would be amazing. TIA!

I was diagnosed type 1 in 2018 but suspect I’ve had narcolepsy most of my life since about 6-8 years old. My most distressing (for both me and my family!) symptom has always been night terrors. Fast forward to the past year, I now have a 9 month old. I am breastfeeding him and he slept in a bassinet in our room until he was 6 months old - I planned to room share until he was 1 but his pediatrician told me to transition him to his crib in a separate room at 6 months. With a mixture of my husband on his night shift rotation and a sleep regression my son is going through, I’ve been keeping him in our room again at night in the pack n play the last few nights.

OK MAIN QUESTION HERE-

Does anyone have any experience as a parent and how your night terrors / disruptive sleep (in particular, screaming) have impacted your kids? Have your kids come to find normalcy in your bizarre sleep experiences or is it something your family struggles with on a daily basis?

I had a much easier time than expected transitioning him to his own room solely because of how my outbursts startle him awake and I’m sure terrify him (as they terrify my husband and other family members and friends who have had the displeasure of sleeping in the same house as me throughout my life 😭). The past few nights I have woken myself up mid scream / talking in my sleep only to find I have startled him awake. Trying to find some sort of balance between being the only parent at home at night during his sleep regression and breastfeeding. I know I’m not helping him with my own sleep problems but this is the best solution I can think of for the time being.

At my last appointment, I was talking to my doc about this and said I’m terrified that when he’s school age, he’ll be like “my mom cries and screams at night!” which would obviously be super concerning to teachers, friends, and parents of friends. My mom said he probably won’t say that because it’ll be something he’s used to but I can imagine him at a sleep over one day being like “your mom doesn’t cry and scream at night?” 🤣 (he does stay the night at my moms house once in a while and nobody in her house has outbursts at night). The doc laughed and said he had never thought about a situation like that with his narcoleptic patients.

Not even sure I have a straightforward question here, just looking for anybody that can possibly relate / give me hope or any advice.

Xyrem and prazosin did not help prevent outbursts even though xyrem did lessen the intensity of my night terrors. I don’t ever want to go back on xyrem, I had to make too many modifications in my daily life for it and it shot my anxiety through the roof.

Thank you in advance for any advice or relatable experiences anyone has to offer! 💤

I suffer a lot from sleep paralysis and it comes from time to time, but these days when I am about to fall asleep I start hearing very loud noises in my ears and vibrations that are almost like electricity and it hurts so bad. Sometimes it's the sounds of people I know shouting or having normal conversations, and sometimes it's very loud music. This is accompanied by some visual hallucinations, but I am aware that they are hallucinations when I'm sleeping. And the thing that all of this has in common with sleep paralysis is that I try to wake up or move or even scream, but I can't, so I endure and wait until all this is over and I wake up very tired with a severe headache.

I'm a 40 year old male.

Ever since I can remember myself, it has been impossible to wake me up. People have tried doing the most awkward things to wake me up, from ice water buckets poured on my head, to placing hot sauce in my nostrils. The weird thing is, I don't remember any of that, and it didn't wake me up.

I never remember anyone trying to wake me up. Nothing can wake me up, not a person, alarm clock or hot sauce in the nostrils.

It's like I am a body. Nothing in there. I am able to sleep for 24 hours straight, wake up, go back to sleep if I want to. Sometimes when my wife tries to wake me up it interacts with a dream I'm having and I speak utter shit to her, again, not aware of it at all.

Obviously it is tearing my life apart, because I rely on my wife to pull me out of bed and somehow she can get me up enough so I understand I am sleeping and need to wake up, but no one else can do that.

Any Ideas? I'm sick of it, she's sick of it, the kids are sick of it. I want to be able to wake up to alarm clocks and knocks on the door. :(

I'm looking for any possible explanations for my specific type of irregular sleep. I have an extremely hard time falling asleep and usually go to bed around 3-5am, sometimes as late as 7-9am. Once I'm asleep, it's anyone's guess when I'll wake up. If I have no scheduled responsibilities the following day, I will be dead asleep with no interruptions for however long my body desires. Lately, I've been sleeping in even on days when I know I have class or a meeting which has been majorly detrimental to my productivity. Today, for example, I had class at 11am and woke up at 5:30pm... yes, PM.

I'm late 20s and diagnosed with ADHD and depression. I recently started taking Prozac after getting off Lexapro (and tbh I don't really like it so far) and I've also been taking Concerta about a year (wanting to switch to Adderall). I don't think these medications have much impact on my sleep because I've had issues with my sleep for years. I've tried taking melatonin, Unisom, THC, CBD/CBN, tried drinking chamomile tea, doing heavy exercise a couple hours before bed, reading books, shutting off screens, etc.. Nothing really works. Taking Unisom was the only way for a while that I was able to fall asleep before 3am, but I've now built up a tolerance and need 150mg to achieve the same result (which I can't imagine is good for me).

And then, waking up is just as, if not more difficult than falling asleep. Alarms don't work because I sleep through them no matter how loud or obnoxious they are. Like I said before, I can only force myseful to wake up early when I know I have something really important. If my body had it their way, I'd likely be sleeping 12-15 hours a day.

My therapist seems to think I'm in the worst part of my depression cycle which is feeling lower than usual because of the medication swap. Then, I have a friend doing her degree in clinical psychology who is convinced I'm dealing with severe ADHD burnout. My psychiatrist has been the least helpful, saying she thinks I just need to "force myself" to wake up at the same time every day (like I haven't tried...) and things will level out.

I don't know what to think. I just know my daily life is becoming more negatively impacted by this horrible sleep schedule and I need to do something ASAP to fix it. Hoping someone else struggles with something similar and has advice.

was wondering if anyone else suffers from this, when I fall asleep if I am sleeping next to my partner I have hallucinations (or I think they are) of them doing things. Like being on their phone or being sneaky or something. I was able to know one of them was a hallucination because I could hear him snoring but I was seeing him be on his phone texting someone but then I woke up and he was asleep still snoring. Mind you there was no way for him to put his phone down and pretend to be asleep when I opened my eyes. This isn't the only time this has happened to me. has anyone else experienced this?

So for the past maybe 2 years I have been tired like always. I am 18. For background I am diagnosed with depression and anxiety and have been since I was about 14. I am on medication for it (brintellix). I was on lexapro for a long while but it stopped working even at the highest dose. In recent month my fatigue seems to be getting worse and worse. Even when sleeping 8-9 hours a night, I wake up exhausted. I find myself unable to stay awake during the day and that I need to take naps to function. I also find it very difficult to wake up in general. Just yesterday, I came home from school (I am in my final year and have my final exams in less than 2 months- I am in Ireland) and I was so exhausted I instantly went for a nap. I just woke up and it’s 10:30am the next day. I am still tired. I slept for over 15 hours. I don’t have time to study and when I try I am exhausted. When I wake up from a ‘nap’ I find I can function but within a couple hours I need to sleep again. When I try to push through it, I end up falling asleep sooner or later. Randomly I get waves of pure exhaustion where I have to stop whatever I’m doing and sleep. I don’t know whether this is caused by my depression cus it has gotten worse since I was diagnosed but whatever it is, it is killing me. I just want to wake up refreshed. I want to have time to do things without needing to sleep. I feel I am at a loss. I’m thinking I will go back to my doctor and talk to him about my options. I looked in to sleep studies but they are expensive. Any advice is appreciated- I am just really tired.

I never had insomnia before and would always get 8-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep. But suddenly since last week I am unable to sleep longer than 5-6 hours at night. I wake up feeling tired but physically unable to go back to sleep. I end up having to nap in the afternoons to make up for lost sleep. What could be causing all of this?

21 Male l've been waking up tired not feeling refreshed even sleeping 8 hours. I always feel sluggish often unmotivated went to the doctor and did bloodwork which all of it came back perfect. I'm sick of being tired all the time and I often drive for work I will fall asleep while I'm driving. I don't struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep I just don't know what's wrong with me.

I've taken B12 injections, didn't help I'm currently taking Modafinil and that doesn't help. I lift 5 days a week, don't drink alcohol and my diet is mostly clean.

Any ideas?

My boyfriend has been struggling with sleeping for the past three months. He’s in the military so he’s used to waking up pretty early (5 AM) but as of recently he’s been waking up around 3 AM. On top of that he’s been waking up throughout the night (at least 2 times a night) and has trouble falling back asleep when he wakes up at 3. He sleeps very early (around 8-9 PM) and he’s tried sleeping later and reducing his caffeine intake but nothing seems to be working. He exercises daily and eats clean. I don’t believe he has any depressive or anxious disorders either.

Does anyone have any experiences like this? Is this simply a more severe case of ASPD (advanced sleep phase disorder) or is this an entirely different issue?

I slept on my right side most of my life. Then I was only able to sleep on my left side. Now I can only sleep on my back with on one spot on my the back of my head.

I am still most comfortable laying on my side so it takes awhile of laying on my side and not sleeping to turn to my back out of frustration.

Any thoughts?

Last night when falling asleep when I closed my eyes it felt like my whole body was shrinking and it is hard to describe and felt strange. Somewhat to depersonalization aswell. As soon as I opened my eyes I felt normal again but then when they were closed I had the shrinking feeling. Someone said to me I could have Alice in wonderland syndrome but it only happened twice when I close my eyes trying to sleep. Anyone else experience this or have an idea?

I don't know anyone else that has this, most people just say they close their eyes and think of nothing, or at most say they stop thinking about preoccupations. But me and my brother have some odd specifics about our sleeping rituals, about how we must conduct a certain degree of control over thoughts: I can't feel like I'm forcing images or words, otherwise I would be just daydreaming, and I also can't just let any thoughts come to mind, disordered, as that also feels like I'm just laying down with my eyes closed, it dosnt feel like Im actually trying to get to sleep. I feel like I must guide it from a visualisation that feels "just right", like a plot to a dream to come, until gradually my imagination takes over autonomously. And I always know I'm about to sleep when the plot stops making sense, like it's following "dream rules" not "reality rules".

Does anyone else have specific ways they must control visualisations in order to get to sleep? Or any study about similar problems?

My disorder is so weird. I will lay in bed all night and feel like I am awake and aware of my surroundings all night and thinking awake type thoughts.

If I fall into a true deep sleep it usually only lasts a few minutes. Dreaming is rare.

Years ago I had an EEG (not a full sleep study) and the tech told me my brain waves said I was asleep when I felt awake and alert all night.

I must be getting more sleep than I realize because it does not impair my driving or awake activities other than feeling groggy and tired and brain fog.

My problems are made worse with my overactive bladder and hot flashes.
