In re: above waveforms, although one can not be really sure if you're asleep, what sleep stage you're in, or what body position, IMO those look like 4 (and perhaps 5) RERAs going to arousal despite 15 cmH2O pressure.

I've seen an ENT in the past, was told I had intrinsic rhinitis. They never gave me anything as they said it was allergic and so there was no point in antihistamine/allergy meds???

Either what they're saying, or what you're hearing, is wrong.

Yeah probably:

I thought that normal flow is supposed to look like a rounded hill.

Depends if it's a "you" breath or a "machine" breath.

Also what do you have for sleep studies?

Why did you opt to get evaluated in the first place?

Feel like doing SleepHQ?

Little better way to quantify your TWA.

Have you talked to your doctor about the PLMD results? If not...you need to because those leg movements could be a factor in your crappy sleep quality. IMO that would depend upon the doctor. I'd say the jury's still out on Yaroslav, and if the General Practice guy gets the Deer/Headlights Look when...

Might be the FAA for airline pilot.

I had some thoughts about this, but on reflection I think the prior question is whose requirement you're needing to meet.

Yup, wondering where OP got 6 hours. Most everybody is 4.

I am required to maintain 6 hours 70% of the time.. with the requirements...

Whose requirements are those?

An EF...

Prob afrin addiction.

Need to review med list incl. caffeine timing.

I refuse to do them when data is available for verification. Some additional info might also prove helpful-- neck size, height/weight, rest of sleep study info (especially sleep stage and position dependency), and if you want to get fancy, get a cheap pulse oximeter and software (EVERYBODY has one)...

Get a home sleep test. Save time and money:
