I am using a bi-level machine. I was wondering if one can get too much sleep. I've been getting about 9 hours while on the bipap. Thanks

Hi Larry,

9 hours sounds wonderful, I wish I could do that!  It isn't like you are sleeping 12 or more hours.  Normal people sleep 7-8 and if you are just starting your BiPAP therapy, you are sleep deprived and have some catching up to do.  The bottom line is how are you feeling?

Very tired!!

Larry

I wish I could complain about too much sleep!  Wouldn't that be heaven!

I have slept 14 hours before and still wake up tired.  If you're not getting the stage of sleep you need, it doesn't matter how much sleep you get.  Wish I could be of more help.
