RE: UARS and APAP - slowriter - 09-09-2019 Ah, like the zombie index in Sleepyhead/Oscar!

Per above, am going to ditch the n30i mask, and instead replace that with the Dreamwear Nasal. Am also experimenting with the Bleep Dreamport system, which in theory may be even better. RE: UARS and APAP - slowriter - 09-10-2019 Two nights with the Bleep mask. Reported CAs now basically gone. I don't think that's coincidence, given the dramatic difference. How can a mask impact that?? [attachment=15363][attachment=15364] RE: UARS and APAP - alexp - 09-10-2019 (09-10-2019, 06:07 AM)slowriter Wrote: Two nights with the Bleep mask. Reported CAs now basically gone. Maybe your mask was waking you up for some reason (small leak, discomfort, ...) and at the same time you are getting used to the new pressure.

RE: UARS and APAP - slowriter - 09-10-2019 Right; I know the previous reported CAs were basically bogus, but the numbers are starkly different. RE: UARS and APAP - slowriter - 09-10-2019 There's something going on here preceding first wake up, but not sure what to make of it.

Looks like REM sleep but hard to tell just from this small sample. Anyway, if it is REM sleep, you woke up because you were dreaming or because your sleep cycle was ending. It's pretty usual to wake up after a cycle. People just don't remember it most of the time.

Given the pretty consistent time frame of these, makes total sense. But most people go back to sleep, and I, almost without exception, wake up (for more than 30 seconds). This is my primary remaining puzzle to solve. RE: UARS and APAP - slowriter - 09-10-2019 Other odd thing to me is, if you just look at when these happen, it's usually 3 hours or so after I go to bed. That would suggest, wouldn't it, that I get through one sleep cycle without the extended wake up, but not the second. Right? |
