Slept about 7 hours and 50 minutes. Woke up at 6 which is about an hour earlier than normal then just sort of laid there for a little while. I can see on the chart there are some apneas around that 6am time so perhaps that is what jolted me awake.
Anyways, I got the mask in order a little better and had less leaks and feel great this morning.

I believe there's some clustering of positional Apnea effects going on there that the collar can clean up. Every few hours these crop up.

Although - I woke up numerous times between the hours of 3 and 5 am. Like at least 10 times. not sure what that was all about. I had loads of energy yesterday and sometimes when that happens I have a hard time staying asleep.
Surprisingly though, I feel fairly good today.
The collar was pretty annoying, maybe I had it on too tight. Any recommendations there would be helpful.
I took the collar off at 5am then woke up at about 730am.
Adapting and optimizing a collar is something that takes time. We generally see immediate improvement, then gradually as the fit and comfort come around, a further improvement. Your initial improvement is on the order of a 75% reduction in events. Not bad! Now to make the adjustment that make this tool more comfortable and effective.

Scores look good, I feel pretty good today surprisingly bc of all the wake ups.
Woke up several times though and was awake for a lot of the night. Not sure what's going on there but at least I feel good during the day and the events seem to be going down.
Are there any more comfortable collars? Maybe that's waking me up? I tossed the thing around 5AM.
I feel like an airplane neck pillow would be more comfortable and do the same thing?
