      My Doctor gave me several suggestions after being diagnosed last month with sleep apnea. This was quite a surprise to me to find out that I stop breathing as much as 22 times in an hour for as much as 10 seconds. Having insomnia for many years I felt like this was another issue to have to deal with when I go to bed. One of the suggestions was online therapy and insomnialand.com. My hope is to stop taking sleeping pills and fall asleep naturally. I am not able to sleep with any apparatus on my body am going to see a ENT Surgeon next month. In the meantime I hope to try and get some help addressing my insomnia.

        Welcome to the forum, Morris. I’m glad to hear that you underwent a sleep study — although it’s understandably concerning to learn that you would stop breathing as many as 22 times in an hour during the night, this knowledge is empowering and you can now take steps to improve your sleep.

        You mentioned that you cannot sleep with any apparatus on your body — have you given CPAP a try in the past? If so, how long ago was this and did you experiment with different types of masks? There are many different options and masks that can make it easier to sleep and are less obtrusive. Often, it’s a case of trial and error giving all the different options a try until you can find something that proves to be tolerable.
