I think that is REM sleep, but I am not positive. I had no REM sleep

during my study either.

I had little to done of the REM sleep, but with my new CPAP with higher

settings my REM sleep has doubled and I actually know I am dreaming on

occasion.

I'm glad they are going to get a CPAP. It may be uncomfortable in the

beginning, but hang in there and try different masks, as it is well worth it

in the end.
