I don't get panic attacks at night at all any more, so I think the apnea treatment has solved that, but I will read the articles that you linked to when I can.
Thanks, Syl. You are the guru around here aren't you? I read your post about "enabling" and I totally agree!

Yep - sleep apnea could definitely be the cause  .
I believe Sand wrote the part on enabling. I not really committed to the idea. Given the individual nature of the disease guidelines are essential. However, there is a rigidness in following guidelines as if they were rules that mystifies many people.

I haven't been on here for awhile, but when I can't sleep, try to catch up on any new advice, etc.
I ran across your posts on sleep disturbances and what a blessing! I thought I was the ONLY person in the world experiencing this - I have asked drs. and searched many websites trying to find the correlation of the symptoms you described - all to no avail. I definitely fit this pattern.
If I sleep for even 15-30 minutes, I am immediately in REM sleep, dreams, sometimes PA's and wake up w/ my heart pounding, anxious, etc... And, my pattern seems to be about 2 -3 hours of sleep max at one time.
I've thought: Is it hormones? Is it sleep apnea (still supposed to have test - but don't really fit the profile), am I just having PA's in my sleep??? But, I think it is totally digestion related. I seem to have slow gut motility and I've read that 2 -3:00 AM is when the liver, etc. is "doing its job" :-) And, that's primarily when I wake up miserable.
But, saying all that to say "thank you" for the enlightenment!
Blessings of Health to you both - Dorothy 
Syl - I read the article you referenced - as always, thank you for your insight.
