Does a low AHI = Good sleep? - interpretation of data
Hi All,
You've probably seen my posts in the last week getting used to the Resmed, I have a question for you - does low AHI mean you're getting a good sleep?
I ask because this is last night's data - and I'm not feeling super rested

Now ignore the leak issue (the mask moved around a bit in the night) - but you'll notice 4 rera events and 4 CA events
I've also identified that through the chart - when you zoom in, there waveforms which look like an OA but are not labeled as such

Would appreciate any info about any of this.

The zoomed flow was not scored as apnea’s as the non breathing was less than 10seconds

Thanks!

I find my best sleep at the 1-1.5 range. I think when I am most relaxed events are most likely to happen. Wide awake always results in 0 AHI. Improper pressure results in too many events. Somewhere in between there is a happy medium.
CPAP is a journey like “The Wizard of Oz”. It’s a long slow journey. You will face many problems and pick up many friends along the way. Just because you reach the poppies, it doesn’t mean you are in Kansas.

Interesting post. I'm also new to all things CPAP and my AHI's are between 1.2 to 5.5 but yet i'm waking up still feeling foggy and tired.
