According to an article called "Longer Treatment Benefits Sleep Apnea Patients" in DentalPlans.com, using the CPAP for 7.5 hours will show great results in alertness during the day. They cite a study recently conducted at the National Institues of Health's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. However, most patients average about 5 hours of sleep.
It's tough to get to bed early. I know I've tried, but I have so many things to do (like typing in this blog). I have to take Melatonin to help myself fell sleepy in the evening. My doctor has been urging me to get to bed early, but it's hard. Earlier this evening I had a stressful experience regarding my car. The "Check Engine" light came on as soon as I started driving it. So I had to leave it at the auto shop tonight and will have to wait until tomorrow to find out what's wrong now.
That alone will cause a sleepless night. Time to take the Melatonin.
