C-PAP & Sleep: Sorry you are dealing w/this but our psyche typically habituates to new situations. You can use a mind-body techiique to help relax you called the Relaxation Response. Please see www.relaxationresponse.org. Peace and good health.

Mattress: Suggest getting an appropriate mattress. You could also try putting a board under your current mattress.

May get better..but.: You may want to check out the sleep aid device at www.bellabee.us. This is a device you can ware for an hour or so before going to bed ( or after you go to bed) that hooks to a mobile phone/app. It emits a low frequency wave meant to pace your brainwaves into a sleep pattern. Several other modes for relaxation/meditation/concentration can be helpful. It can be used at the same time as CPAP.
