sleep disorder without sleep apnea

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have sleep problems diagnosed without sleep apnea. I got

my sleep study results and my doctor first told me they were fine

after glancing at the paper(he always does this). So I made him read

them in detail and he said I have no stage 4 sleep, my stage 1 which

is supposed to be like 12 minutes was 160 minutes long and the whole

sleep cycle was 225 minutes, with barely any in REM. I don't have

sleep apnea, nor do I snore even remotely. (I had emergency surgery a

year and a half ago and the nurse thought I was dead, I was just

sleeping peacefully)

So needless to say I don't wake up feeling refreshed, I feel like I

got hit by a truck. Psychologically this is really bad because I KNOW

how I'm going to feel when I wake up so it's getting really hard to

go to sleep. Why sleep when I feel ok now and I'll just wake up

feeling worse and it takes all day to feel ok again? I've been

thinking of taking a sleep aid like Ambien or possibly something else

that would force Stage 4 sleep. Anyone have luck with sleep aids?
