My Son has a deep sleep disorder which means he spends most of his sleep cycle in very deep sleep. This reduces the amount of oxygen to his brain, gives his body a great relax and boost of energy but does not rest his brain, so he is mentally tired and finds it difficult to concentratete and to control all the extra energy his body has. Does any one have experience with dealing with this?

can my electric get shut off if i use a cpap machine?




I recently found out that i need to use a cpap machine at night for sleep apnea. I live in wisconsin, can W.e energies turn off my power if i need to use this machine? I know that if i was on oxygen they can not turn me off, but i was wondering if this was the same.

thanks all

I have allergies which trigger me to have problems with my asthma. I know that I cannot oxygenate the baby if I cannot oxygenate myself. Low oxygen can have some pretty serious consequences on the fetus. Benadrly stops the allergy to dust which means I do not have asthma attacks. Benadryl is a category B drug did anyone take benadryl during pregnancy?

What other problems could be mistaken for sleep apnea?




I have many symptoms of sleep apnea but my sleep study shows that it is not an issue. I am tired all the time, no energy or motivation. Depression and anxiety are a major problem. I wake up many times a night feeling like I cannot catch my breath, like my chest is very heavy and not getting enough air/oxygen. What other conditions could cause these symptoms?

I think my 9yr old son has a sleep disorder?




I have a 9 year old son. He is still having problem wetting the bed a night, we usuall use good nites because he pees way to much. I read an article about a clinic in Florida that specializes in children who still wet the bed due to a disorder called Oxygen Deprived sleep. It causes kids to stay in a stage 4 sleep most of the night, so when the bladder sends a signal to the brain that it is full the brain does not get it due to such a deep sleep. Now we are from New Orleans and it is just not an option to go to Florida to have this treatment. Does anyone know of any clinics closer to me? Has anyone been through this? Any advice would be such a help.
