Sometimes these type of narcotic analgesics can cause vivid dreams and sleep difficulties. In addition, they are all muscle relaxants, so if you are taking them prior to bedtime, you may need to check the pressure that you need from your pump. The type of sleep that we have when we dream is also associated with more relaxation of muscles as well.
It is possible that you the pressurefrom the pump is now too low, so you are waking up with breathing pauses or snoring during the dreaming type of sleep (REM sleep), so you are aware of these vivid dreams.
You should see your sleep physician to discuss the need for a sleep study to check that you are on the right pressure.

Thanks for that, I have reciently had an update “over night sleep study session” and at the time it was just a general check up and that was all good the pressure was said to be right for my results. The reason I'm so thankful you wrote to me was that now I recall, the reason I had the test was for an unrelated problem (dried and bleeding nose) and that was before all the new tablets. That all makes sence, I think I will have another one for all this new illness and pain medication. Thank you again ! Stephen Archer..
