F20 memory foam mask. Minimal leaks. Wear a cervical collar. Tried a Dr. Dakota but it works similarly to the collar. Extreme dry mouth. Recovery from the pain of inguinal hernia surgery.
Results:
My first 'bout' of sleep ends because of dry mouth or hernia pain. I turn off the machine and it reports 20 - 30 AHI. I manage to go back to sleep and by morning the average has come down in the range of 3 - 5 AHI. I don't do anything differently throughout the night.
Why is there always a burst of activity at the beginning of the night? From midnight on, usually, it looks like things are pretty good.
Oscar graphs from the past two nights are attached. They have looked like that for the past ten days or so.
Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.
PS. Strangely, I've been feeling pretty good in the mornings and throughout the day.
