Re: Do I need to change my CPAP

After some research I found that in general cocoa grounded beans has 6 times less caffeine than grounded coffee beans.

So, yes I will look for a caffeine free drink I would like.
At least I can lower my amount of caffeine intake with the hot chocolate until I switch. :)

Re: Do I need to change my CPAP

Ghee, two new friends :P

Thank you Julie, I am French Canadian and my English vocabulary is not that extensive.

Thank you ChicagoGranny.

I am guessing there is not much caffeine in a hot chocolate and I would replace the coffee with such.
Your thoughts on that method to reduce or quit ?

Re: Do I need to change my CPAP

Thank you for all the info :wink:

I have now two very hard things to try for improvement.

I need to cut down or even stop my smoking and caffeine intake. :?
I smoke on average 25 cigarettes per 24 hours and I drink coffee till around 7 PM.

Not an easy task :roll:

Re: Do I need to change my CPAP

Pugsy I would bet my last dollar that there are more awakenings that didn't result in your turning the machine off and then restarting with a new session. Be careful on what you bet :D I know it is possible to get micro awakenings that I would not be aware of but I was not referring to those. My ma...

Re: Do I need to change my CPAP

From zonker: it seems that the MAD is helping though i'm uncertain as to how. maybe i don't understand the device well enough to comment. The MAD is just like a mouth guard for hockey players except that it is in two pieces and it pushes the lower jaw forward. What it does is opening the airway. Th...

Do I need to change my CPAP

Hi all. My first post here but since February have been using a Resmed Airsense 11 with ResMed AirFit F20 full face mask. I have been struggling to bring my results down until I found that a MAD (Mandibular Advancement Device) could help. I got one and saw a big difference. OSCAR DATA DATE RANGE AHI...
