Note migraine sufferers (of which I am one in addition to sleep apnea) usually find that they need to get to sleep and wake up at the same time every day to cut down on their headaches. That and skipping the amount of coffee usually drunk during the work day is why many people get "weekend headaches". — Michael Meissner email: mrmn…@the-meissners.org http://www.the-meissners.org

The smokeing is a problem for sleep apnea . There is a whole page on it in Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine by Meir H. Kryger, Thomas Roth, William C. Dement, T. Roth . Trust me I studied this stuff for 2 years

Jim, how sleepy are you when going to bed. Do you feel you could get to sleep much earlier?? If so, maybe check out advance sleep phase syndrome. Not sure about the headaches, but my husband has them when he sleep to late/ not hours of sleep ( for his body). I myself can sleep 18 hours without getting a headache. He has no sleep disorders unless you call not being able to sleep late in the weekend as one I am the one with apnea and DSPS. Oh, don’t take any bullshit comments about your smoking. I went from over 2 packs a day to none. worst thing I have done for my health and no difference any which way with apnea, breathing or energy level. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Jim wrote: > afternoon….heres my problem, hopefully someone will have some remedies > or help…definite morning person here. usually wake same time, 114am, > then spend the next hours , not really sleeping, but laying there, > constantly watching the clock…not fun…also can only sleep 5 hrs or > so before i wake up, then the brain kicks in and i get a splitting > headache…once im awake it next to impossible to go back to sleep. in > bed usually same time everynite…and sat and sunday naps are a must, > usually 2-3 hrs…tired of headaches, tired of not getting a goodnites > sleep…seems my body just shuts down on me……one cup of coffee in > the mornings before work, and i do smoke, so that may be a contributing > factor….any solutions to getting a full nites sleep? thanks, jim in > chicago

Ok you need a sleep study for sure. Go tell your Doctor to get you scheduled up for one . First thing is you have poor sleep habits turn the clock around so you can’t see it. I would bet you have Sleep apnea and your wakeing up after your first REM period which I bet starts around 1 am. Does anyone tell you that you Snore or stop Breathing when you sleep ? The lack of 02 when you sleep Could be were the Head aches are comeing from or a build up of CO2. Oh and stop smokeing The smoke couses swelling in the Airway makeing your Sleep Apnea worse.

Sleep study would be a start, see your doc to get a referral or you can try the sleep studies center at Evanston Hospital- very good facility and great staff- that’s where I had my study done. good luck, /vic
