I have a problem with insomnia, being that I cannot take medication for it, due to the fact that I suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.
I stop breathing dozens of times per night and sleep medication could cause me to die in my sleep. So, I must find a way to circumvent this problem without decreasing respirations.
I have an appointment with a sleep specialist next month and hope to discuss the problem with them at that time. However, I suspect that it is hypervigilence that is keeping me awake so, perhaps I should involve my psychiatrist as well.
I will post my findings once I receive professional medical attention. In the meantime, I will try to do some research.
