Hi Michael,
Can't help you with the O2 prescription thing as we have the same frustration here. But, a suggestion to avoid the middle of the night attack from The Beast is to take Dramamine or Gravol before bed. It is a motion sickness drug that causes sleep as a side effect BUT it does not allow you to get into that REM phase of sleep. Sure, you wake up a little sleep deprived but you also wake up after a CH free night because the Beast can't seem to find you unless you enter that REM phase.
Just a suggestion, worked for my husband (also a Michael). Sometimes a good night's sleep is all you need to fight the next day.
Hope it helps.
