Sorry I missed seeing your followup message until today...

I have not noticed a big improvement when using CPAP. However, in the last week I have noticed that when I sleep lightly (i.e. no REM that I am aware of), I don't tend to suffer the same apnea-related symptoms as when I have REM sleep. This may just be something I never noticed before, or it could be a post-MMA improvement.

My CPAP has always tended to "inflate" my stomach (aerophagia) and this made it hard to tolerate. Given my new discovery that my apnea isn't so bad in non-REM sleep, my new strategy is to only wear the CPAP the 2nd half of the night, when I am more likely to be in REM sleep. I've only tried this a couple of nights so I don't have any results to report yet, but I think I might be onto something here.
