I’m going to see the sleep doctor next Monday and I’m trying to get fixed in my mind what my problems are and what we need to do to fix them.
My biggest problem right now, is that I want to travel but can’t sleep when I travel. I also have some sleeping issues when put under a lot of stress at work. The night before a staff development, the night before a test, anytime my routine is changed. The nights before the first day of school, etc.
I didn’t like Ambien, it didn’t work well for me. I also didn’t like Provigil (a different type of drug).
I’m willing to try the new sleeping pill if it is available. I don’t want to take something on a regular basis, most of the time I can fall asleep.
I also think I need to plan better when I’m going to need sleeping medication.
I also want a new mask — I like the mask I’m using now, and I want to go through an in-network supplier. I also want new humidifer chambers but might have to do that out of pocket.
