Newbie with a question


Posted by Bryan on July 05, 2000 at 04:03:16:

Hi gang!!

Well, I have sleep apnea, and have been on cpap for almost 2 weeks. Every 2 months or so we are required to work back to back weekend graveyard shifts. Mine are coming up in two weeks. I have been sleeping pretty well so far, but I am woried about the weekends, and how I should prepare.

Before cpap I would just stay awake the night before, and then sleep the next day, get up and go to work. I am worried about screwing up my sleep patterns using this method with cpap. Any suggestions??

Thanks a bunch!!

Bryan
