the question is what else can i do to fall a sleep ? i was dianognosed with sleep apnea about a year ago . but talking with my wife and my family doctor , we came to the conclusion that i had a form of sleep apnea for atleast since i was 15 ( i'am 39 now ) . i have tried staying awake for hours and hours and just finally crash . i have went to the sleep center last year and got the machine and is at # 19 right now . for a while did help me sleep but after a while just did not do the job . and i have tried most of the over the counter meds ( some i could not with my regular meds ) and really did not do the job but helped a little bit . the doctor gave me a script for ambian and after a while trazodone and that does not work either . well i little history of me so to understand a bit better . i'm 39 , had a sleeping problem for going on 25 years , been over weight for well .. all my life . the jobs that i had were demanding . i worked in the automotive business , selling delivery . and i went truck driving over the road for a bit . i'am the only one left in my family . mom and dad are both dead .i have a wife that is so helpful and understanding . i got injured with my last job and been disabled ever since . and i had the weight loss surgery last year in april , just before the surgery i was at 340 now i'am around 250 , but having alot of problems still with the surgery . right before that i was taking 13 different pills a day plus lantus insulin 2x a day plus regular insulin coverage shots thru out the day . after the surgery went down to 3 pills a day and one insulin shot a day . plus i have depression and just about to the bipolar ordeal . and really never talked about it in the open like this and my doctor and wife thought it might be a good idea . so here i'am . and hopefully i will find some ways to get some answers and/or help with this problem .


Maybe you need the air pressure on your cpap machine adjusted, since you have lost weight...which would require another overnight sleep study. Maybe the soft palate tissue in your mouth is more relaxed since you lost the weight and lazer surgery is in order. God bless you, keep searching and praying, get second and third opinions if necessary.
