Glad to hear the CPAP is helping you. I tried it and still had the RBD. I made a quick gif to show my sleep behavior so people can see how crazy it is: https://imgur.com/gallery/qSYqDvN . I get injured from this all the time and it happens many many times per night. I usually can't sleep through it so barely sleep.

I went to a sleep lab when I first noticed problems (like falling asleep on the motorway/freeway) and they found I was on average waking up once every three minutes. Not good. CPAP definitely helps me - I find the best way is to use nasal pads rather than a full mask, and to sleep with the covers over my head and with my face down in the pillow (which you can do with an external air supply).
