That's encourging to know.Jay Aitchsee wrote:Yes, you're looking good, don't worry about it. Remember, that 47 seconds is a "reduction" in breathing. Not a stoppage of breathing. The corresponding Flow Limitation was only about 0.2 max, which some would consider very good, though published guidelines are difficult to find. Also consider that there was a small uptick in leak rate during that time which could be influencing the numbers slightly. The last few charts you've published have looked very good from a respiratory standpoint, at least that seems to be the consensus of folks who have commented on them. With these results, if you're still not feeling rested, perhaps you should consider looking elsewhere, like cardio, depression, or deficiencies, for example.

Normally don't sleep on my back at all. I've always been a side fetal position sleeper. The only time on my back is the very rare occasion I fall asleep in my recliner, maybe once or twice every 3 or 4 months.Julie wrote:If you're sleeping on your back, I would do whatever possible not to, as al it may be a problem.

I tried one for a few days.....had a horrible time with it and finally returned it. Now I use a pillow that allows my head to be level with my shoulder (about 8" thick memory foam) but I still have to remember not to tuckJulie wrote:No you don't, just wear a soft cervical collar and it'll take care of your head, open your airway and help with any leaks.

With your results, you probably don't need one, but here's how to make one that might be more comfortable (I've tried them too). Take a piece of 1 inch thick foam cut in a rectangle, nominally, about 4" X 6". Wrap this foam in something soft, a hankie, piece of T-Shirt, whatever. Next time your at the store, or maybe your wife has one, pick up a hair band. It is kind of like a sweat band, only much thinner, two to three inches wide, stretchable, and cheap. Now take the piece of foam which you've wrapped in cloth and place it inside the circle of the hairband so that the long side runs with the band. Safety pin the hairband to the foam on center from the outside. That's it.fdw wrote:I tried one for a few days.....had a horrible time with it and finally returned it.
