Re: Experience in this simple silicone product to replace the tape on the mouth ?

The chinstrap I use is made by a small business on the west coast by the engineer who designed it. I have been using them close to 10 years with success. They have three styles. The only difference between them is the material used. The designer has a video right on his website about why the strap ...

Re: Strong correlation between movements, flow rate dislocations and appearance of apneas?

Been years since I was over on PubMed reading about this stuff and I realize how much I have forgotten since being out of the throes of the movements. Just read a couple studies and already my brain hurts. Remembering when I was hungry for every bit of related info I could glean. Admittedly feeling...

Re: Strong correlation between movements, flow rate dislocations and appearance of apneas?

OK so here are sub-cortical arousals determined by PAT: https://i.imgur.com/z7p3IK1.jpeg Although there's no EEG it's very doubtful that there are cortical arousals as breathing is quite stable. Quite interesting ! How do they get the datas about the Legs moves and what are NAF and ABD ? You are us...

Re: Strong correlation between movements, flow rate dislocations and appearance of apneas?

Yes it is true. Sleep apneas thanks to CPAP therapy are no longer the cause of my sleep problems . PLM's are the cause. My only point with my Post was to notice the link between movement and apnea. It seems that the process is as follows: the movements (turning right left/left tight, I assume) lead ...

Re: Strong correlation between movements, flow rate dislocations and appearance of apneas?

I agree with that. As long as the recordings are credible, the more different views we have of our night, the better it is. And to get back to my personal case,which triggered the discussion, the fact is that the movement detection seems to be OK, as the movements detected are perfectly synch with t...

Re: Strong correlation between movements, flow rate dislocations and appearance of apneas?

To record the movement, I am using the O2 ring, which gives SPO2, Pulse rates and the Movements.
I had a recent Hospital Sleep full recording and it gave me the opportunity to check that my O2 ring Spo2 was correct.

Strong correlation between movements, flow rate dislocations and appearance of apneas?

As we can see, with each movement, there corresponds a dislocation in the flow rates, and an acceleration of the heart rate, but more interesting, often the appearance of OA/H's.

Inclined bed: a solution for apnea's and snoring...?

One of my friends, who according to his wife, suffered from apnea's and snoring, equipped himself with a reclining bed. According to him, the result was very convincing, in reducing both apnea's and snoring. I would be happy to know if any members of the forum have any experience on the subject, bef...

Unexplained phenomenom: "shakes, bumps, burts..." in my mask

I have been using a facial mask successfully for about a year. Face mask because of the “mouth breathing” effect with another type of mask, even with a tape on the mouth. That said, even with a face mask, I continue to use a tape, otherwise, at the end of the night I have saliva which compromises th...

Re: Help needed.

So, I had an appointment with my sleep doctor. I told her about my poor sleep despite good CPAP results (number of OA/H well below 5/h). I also mentioned to her the numerous occasions where I have a poor sleep with a disturbed air flow without OA signaled by the machine. The decision was to do, a ne...

Re: Help needed.

I met my sleep doctor. She acknowledged that there are still unanswered questions and that more information is needed. She proposed doing a new sleep test with CPAP that would combine data from the machine and from the system collecting the data during a regular sleep test. One more painful night .....
