A flex read uts

Post by Intel4rfc@aol.com » Sun Jun 28, 2015 1:08 pm

Sometimes I sleep 6 hrs and my apac machine says I had 0 hrs therapy. What does that mean? Good or bad?
I also have period breathing once in a while like 1.6 percent in 5 hrs sleep. This happens in no real pattern. Sometimes not for months than maybe once or twice in one month. What is normal.

It would be helpful in getting an answer to your question if you would register and post your equipment using the User Control Panel in the upper left of the page. Not knowing the make and model of your machine an accurate answer is unlikely.

If you read your results after noon on the day following the night in question, your machine will not acknowledge the sleep time as most machines operate on a noon-to-noon time schedule (who knows why!), but if you read them before noon, you should get results... if not let us know.

I understand the noon to noon time frame. What I have experienced is verience in sleep time and therapy time. Also is there an acceptable PB occurrence that would be considered normal?
I got the post that a few is no big deal. Is there something more definition?
Thanks

as long as it doesn't look like this,

I wouldn't freak out... if it DOES look like that, I would most certainly recommend freaking out, and heading straight to the cardiologist.
