Re: Holistic Remedies for Restless Legs and PLMD

However, I think I'd be a little careful about taking mineral supplements. Too much iron ends up in your heart, and magnesium has purging effects which might upset your electrolytes.

Well then I apologize for another of my many faults, and you should take take great pride in that you are such a much better person than I!

Re: Sleep Lab in a Box

What, it's a "guy" thing! AAMOF, it's mandatory that if a guy is acting like an asshole, that the other guys need to step up and tell him he's acting like an asshole. It's kinda like when somebody has a seed stuck in their teeth, or when a woman comes out of the bathroom having tucked the back of t...

Re: Sleep Lab in a Box

Lab is the gold standard ad very acurate. also, i am a honest 3rd party in evaluation The Polysomnogram. They still do it the old fashioned way. They have you travel, often great distance, to spend the night in front of strangers in a lab. I remember an ad for a competitor to the iPhone. The little...

Re: Is it the ASV or the Auto?

Let's assume for a second that I am having lots of these ASV attacks which are being repelled. (I have SH data if you want to see it). Then I might be having sleep fragmentation leading to daytime fatigue, which I still have. What do you do about the sleep fragmentation? Sure, let's take a look at ...

Re: Is it the ASV or the Auto?

In light of this, I would love to be able to identify where an "ASV attack" occurs in my data. Could you please explain what to look for in the waveforms to determine when an ASV attack occurs? Look for areas where the Pressure Support rises above PS min (assuming, of course, that PS min does not e...

Re: Is it the ASV or the Auto?

OK.... Thanks Dave. I'll assume it's the ASV that fixing me and not the variable pressure. And at least for AHI it's fixing things. Average for last seven days was 0.15. I think you have to be a little careful about how you interpret AHI though. When ASV works, the breathing instability is fixed (a...

Re: Is it the ASV or the Auto?

DeltaDave's answer kind of went over my head... I sincerely apologize for that. If PaceWave works the way I understand it, ASV should increase it's effectiveness in poor sleepers (where the aggressiveness of current technology may make ASV difficult to tolerate). Sigh. I guess people are more inter...

Right, see my post earlier in this thread. Use Pressure (High Rate) and back out a little, but yes, that' looks like an ASV Attack (one breath, maybe a breath and a half).

Re: What's your ZQ score

This chart i posted is from March, i could have had a few beers. If my sleep hygiene that day was bad for whatever reason, caffiene, alcohol, stress etc why did the zeo score the night which such a high score?

Re: What's your ZQ score

I thought waking up during your REM, such as waking during dreaming is not desirable. However i didnt know that waking at the end of a REM cycle is the goal. The zeo alarm has a setting to look for a "natural awaking point", so you think this is a end of REM cycle and not during do you think? This ...

I can fix it so you'll get a new European PaceWave ASV CS2!

Just PM your name and address so I can file a qui tam afterwards.

Just do it by next Friday. I need Christmas $$$.

Thanks!
