Answer by Vireos
There are many sleep disorders, and so really can't give a good answer to this. If your child won't sleep, or can't sleep, it could be insomnia, but you should see a doctor before giving any medication.

Q&A: What type of sleep disorder matches the description of 'vivid dreams or scenes just before falling asleep'

Question by Cris O: What type of sleep disorder matches the description of 'vivid dreams or scenes just before falling asleep' I keep seeing this symptom listed in sleep disorder checklists, but then the only sleep disorders discussed will be sleep apnea and restless legs, neither of which seems to be related to this symptom.

Answer by alien3starr
I don't think this is a disorder. I think this is normal, though stress or insomnia can make it worse. The same thing happens to me.

What procedure would the doctor do? What specialist do you have to see if you are diagnosed as a sleeping disorder? Please help!! Because I believe I have it.

Answer by Stephen
You need to see a neurologist who specializes in sleep disorders. You then need to go to a sleep disorders clinic to have tests run while you sleep and while you are awake. You might have a condition referred to as hypersomnolence and perhaps Narcolepsy.

Q&A: this is for those that have sleep apnea. How do you get used to the cpap machine?

Question by ougal: this is for those that have sleep apnea. How do you get used to the cpap machine? I am having a sleep apnea test done soon and may have to use the machine. I had the sleep apnea long time ago but I couldn't get used to the machine so I sent it back.

You do not have to settle for a mask anymore. They also have nasal pillows that you can use. That is what my husband chose. Since you already know you have sleep apnea from previous testing you need to change you mindset so to speak. Think of this as something like diabetes. If you needed insulin shots in order to control you diabetes would you tell you doctor you can't do it and not take the insulin and risk losing you limbs or worse yet your life? Think of the C-Pap machine in the same way. Using it is helping you and helping your health. If you have trouble adjusting to a c-pap call the medical place that supplies your C-Pap and get help from the people there. Sleep apnea is serious and needs to be treated. Good Luck.

How can I convince my partner to talk to a doctor about his sleep apnea?

Question by : How can I convince my partner to talk to a doctor about his sleep apnea? His sleep apnea is so bad and it is really scary. I'm terrified that I'm going to lose him far too soon. I would say he is not breathing more than he is during his sleep. His snoring is super loud (no idea how I sleep next to him) and switches between snorning, gargling and then the worse of all - silence. I have tried to speak to him about his sleep apnea but every time he just dismisses what I say. He is convinced that his sleep apnea is not that bad (even after I showed him video of his breathing) and that it's not the reason he is so tired all the time. I feel like he is going to die soon if something does not change. I am running out of ideas of how to get him to see a doctor about a cpap machhine. I really need some adivce.

Best answer:

Answer by Mary
Maybe by explaining to him how upsetting this is to and how much it impacts your sleep as well will persuade him to consider seeing a doctor about the problem. He might also have concerns about using a cpap so you could also learn more about them to help alleviate that anxiety. Snoring and sleep apnea can cause other health problems and it is important that he take action to improve his breathing. You can try to get him a wedge-shaped pillow to put him in a partially upright position to help in the meantime but it is still important to discuss this with a doctor.
