RE: The IDEAL SpO2 while sleeping?
I have about the same number of events whether or not I use my CPAP machine.
Around 3-5 per hour... so I stopped using my CPAP machine thinking it was really not helping.
I have noticed my spO2 is around 95.5 when using my CPAP vs. 94.2 when I do not use my CPAP. Every night I wear a oximeter and have it wake me if my level falls below 91.
Usually I am so tired I fall asleep around 9 and take naps if I am not at work. Last night I used my CPAP and I feel like I have so much more energy than normal.
Could this be because my average sp02 level was higher while I used my CPAP last night? No one ever talks about having a lower than average resting spO2 level but maybe it matters.
Just wondering people's opinion on this.

Sick of being so tired after dinner.
