Sleep Apnea Support Group
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. People with sleep apnea partially awaken as they struggle to breathe, but in the morning they may not be aware of sleep disturbances.
Most of what I've read and been told by the people at the sleep clinic, is that people who have sleep apnea don't go into REM sleep and don't dream. They've said things to me like "soon you'll start dreaming again!"
But what's odd is, I'VE ALWAYS dreamed, and in fact I have very vivid dreams. But when I sleep w/ my cpap, I DON'T dream (or don't remember the dreams) and when I sleep without it, I have VERY VIVID dreams. I seem to be reverse.
Is anyone else like this?

I have sleep apnea myself and what usually happens tome is I do dream when I have my cpap on I dont always remember either but if I have taken my cpap off during the night I end up having nightmares and I think when you interrupt your sleep you maybe were in a sound sleep.

I usually dream even with my CPAP on. Without it I have morning nightmares which I think are due to not breathing properly without the mask.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
