I take Klonopin and Depakote each night, and have for years. I have never had any trouble at all falling asleep (except when I'm hypomanic, and then it isn't a "problem"). My trouble has always been waking up at 3 am (4 am during daylight savings time or vice versa) and being too anxious to fall back asleep till 5 or 6. If the apnea plays a role in that, it might be worth looking into something to help. But I'm not convinced a machine is the answer. It doesn't happen all the time. It tends to come in cycles, like everything else in my life. :(
But the referral to the neurologist came because of my "involuntary naps", and of *course* I didn't have any during the sleep test. They only happen when I'm upset, and I wasn't upset.
