Hello all,

Here's my story so far. Recently I am having sleep transition issues where I would wake up gasping as I was about to fall asleep. This would happen several times at night , and would leave me awake for hours at a stretch. I had a sleep study done on recommendation from my doctor and results are still awaited. Searching through the net, I found something called sleep onset central apnea , which seems to fit my symptoms.

I also came across many articles , which seem to suggest that these are a part of normal sleep transition. My question is : How can they be normal when they start interfering with your normal sleep cycle? How do people cope with it? As expected, the following day, I am quite sleepy and tired and have to take repeated naps during the day. This is beginning to affect my work..

What are the best options for sleep onset apneas( not OSA or CSA which occurs once you are asleep)? Do sleeping pills help? Many questions.. Any suggestions/remedies welcome.. Please help me overcome this nightmare
