Or carbohydrates?
Personally I can see no advantage to cheating on a home sleep study. It is like lying to your doctor or lawyer. What is to gain and for who?
The sleep clinic gets money for nothin on your M-TV.
I can't speak to the physiological aspects, but I can say that 1) my OSA was far worse when on TRT, 2) if you search this forum, you'll find threads where men reported pressure requirements decreasing 2-3 cm & 3) one of the warnings on the box of androgel & a warning in their commercials is that it may cause sleep probs or worsen existing probs. An google search will return 1,000's of reported cases where TRT resulted in worsening sleep.
As far as carbs are concerned, I've discovered that I have a sensitivity to wheat (even beer). If I consume any after, noon, I have to take a decongestant when I go to bed or my CPAP loses effectiveness & I snore (I don't snore at all without it). To your point, its not all carbs, so I probably should have just mentioned wheat.
