MSLT Showed 1min20s Sleep Latency – Is It Residual Apnea or Idiopathic Hypersomnia?
hello everyone.
Do you think my ongoing fatigue and sleepiness are due to poorly controlled sleep apnea, or could it indicate idiopathic hypersomnia (IH)? Here’s my history:*
- *First polysomnography showed moderate sleep apnea (17 AHI).*
- *Initial MSLT had a mean sleep latency of 5 minutes.*
- *After starting CPAP, my follow-up polysomnography still detected 9 apneas/hour (down from 17), but my repeat MSLT showed a drastic drop to 1 minute 20 seconds average sleep latency across all 5 naps.*
*Could this suggest IH, or is it more likely that my CPAP needs adjustment? Has anyone experienced similar results?"*
