    Not quite the same, but when I had my sleep study done, the options were for CPAP, a dental appliance, or surgery. I chose the dental appliance. It really didn't help because my main problem is insomnia, not sleep apnea. 

    So when a sleep study is done,do you take your sleeping pill or not take it,I have severe insomnia,I take Ambien× 5 yrs,it's not working anymore and he says there is nothing stronger.sorry that was like 2 questions.

    I mean that literally. What do you do when you wake up in the middle of the night?

    Do you toss and turn? Listen to an audiobook? Grab the phone and scroll? Take a little something to help you sleep? Give in to the wakefulness and start your day? 

    Just curious what insomnia looks like for others.

    Welcome to the forum. The place to start is to talk to your doctor. They will know you medical history and can give you recommendations that are specific to your health history, sleep needs, and take into consideration what you have tried/failed in the past. Good Seep Hygiene is a necessary, vital step and can make a huge difference. 

    I have been seeing him for 10 yrs,no other sleeping pills  worked,problem is I'm immune to them now,I don't no if there is anything stronger,he says there is not.but he is extremely strict on all meds thank you for your reply

    First, I could have sworn I wrote a post earlier today about feeling like I'm resistant to medication because the meds that some people talk about as kicking their rear ends hardly affect me at all. Maybe it got deleted? (If so, I'm sorry I'm bringing it up again.) Maybe I didn't hit submit? I wouldn't be surprised!

     

    So, if you are like me and Ambien has no or little effect on you, have you found something that did work? I have Ambien, Sonata, Trazodone, and Lunesta. What else can I try? You know what would be heavenly? Taking something and feeling my eyes closing so I can actually lay down and fall right asleep. Ironically, that is the stuff of dreams in my reality. :tongue_smilie:

    If you smoke cigarettes they are a stimulant,I read not to smoke 2 hrs before bed
