<p>I know it's a lot of trouble, but there are cds out there specifically to help you get to sleep. Some are just relaxing music, some relaxation, or self hypnosis cds. I know it's a lot of trouble to get a cdplayer and earphones going in the middle of the night, but they can help and don't leave you hung over in the morning. My favoeite cd is Illuminations by JS Epperson. It says "for peak performance", but I find I cannot stay awake through the whole cd.</p>

<p>Hi Brittany,</p>
<p>For sleep-aids, benadryl works but it's hard for me to get up in the morning. It also gives me a groggy feeling in the morning. I take Melatonin to make myself sleepy on workdays since I want to be sure I can get up in the morning. I feel the same way about waking up fixated on the mask and pressure. I totally know how you feel. How long have you been on the CPAP?</p>

<p>I've had some progress over the weekend when I took benadryl as I slept between 1and 1/2 - 2 and 1/2 hours straight without waking up. Once I woke up, I couldn't tolerate the mask anymore.</p>
