<p>I'm wondering: what prompted you to consider whether you have sleep apnea in the first place?</p>

<p>Also, waking throughout the night isn't uncommon especially as we (*sigh*) age. I seem to wake every 90 minutes or so. This pattern probably track the typical, 90-minute sleep cycles.</p>

<p>Something that might help when you wake is to learn some self-hypnosis techniques and apply them when you wake. It also helps NOT to pay attention to the clock, something I used to do, which really kept me awake. Instead, try to think about pleasant, fun things: this will help to kick up the sleep-inducing delta waves in your brain. By contrast, planning and worrying about things you need to do and/or problems you have tends to increase the wrong kind of brain wave activity and might make it harder for you to fall asleep in the first place or to fall back asleep if/when you wake during the night. Not good.</p>

<p>Finally, some do better with an APAP machine instead of a CPAP. You might consider this possibility.</p>
