I will take my chances. Wake up a lot at night due dreams and breathless. CPAP? What's next? Catheter. Beam me up Scotty!

That was me. I was depressed for a week after the doc talked to me and said no way.
But later I though what the heck may as well try it. It's not nearly the PITA I imagined it to be. In the sleep study I woke to the barely-unconscious sleep state (stage 1) 18 times in 6 hours and spent almost no time in deep sleep. I never really felt rested. Now I wake to stage1 sleep 1 or 2 times a night. It's a big improvement in my life and worth the inconvenience. I just wish I understood the damn machine better.
Funny thing, I used to dream that I was awake and couldn't sleep almost every night. I would get up the next day pixxed off at the world for not letting me sleep. That doesn't happen any more.
