Had you had any vaccinations during the 24 hours before your chills and fever? And have you taken a Covid test just to be on the safe side?

I’m glad you’re feeling back to normal.

No. No.

Thank you.

Good evening, all. I'm curious to get some opinions on last night's report. https://sleephq.com/public/d217bef8-6a37-451c-8ba8-98239525cf78 Behind the scenes....yesterday around noon, I got chilled to the core. Started running some fever and felt like I had been beaten with an elephant. Everything h...

Maybe some slight improvement in the FLs and maybe a little less arousals and maybe a little less evidence of crappy sleep. Again the bulk of the centrals are post arousal with maybe a couple of them being real asleep centrals but the bulk are post arousal. One night does not a trend make though so...

Here's last night.

I'm not sure what I'm seeing, but it definitely looks different.

I tend to think along the lines of "go big or go home" :lol: :lol: I would start with EPR set to 3 full time and see what happens. We may need to increase that minimum a little to compensate for the drop during exhale but I don't suggest doing that until a need is proven. If you start seeing a mark...

All but one of the CA/central flags appear to be post arousal. There is one central that appears to be the real deal in the midst of asleep breathing flow rate. That is meaningless. It's normal to have a few every now and then. Sometimes the arousals are brief but sometimes not so brief. My first t...

Good evening, all.

I'm curious how last night's graph looks to y'all. I feel like I slept pretty good, but I did feel like I was crashing at 3pm this afternoon.

Being on CPAP is not as bad as it seems up front. There are way worse treatments for way worse conditions. All we have to do is slip on a damn mask at bedtime for a great night's sleep. Considering the bullfrog's warped sense of humor, I am grateful that cpap renders me almost completely immune to ...

In the U.S., you have a legal right to see your sleep study. Ask the clinic for a copy asap. This is useful information; and I'll put it to use this afternoon. Thanks. What are you doing to address the chronic congestion? At the moment, I live with it. At its worst it's like a bad cold -- not a pro...

What are you doing to address the chronic congestion? I've had upper respiratory and sinusitus issues my whole life up until I had sinus surgery. It was so bad that it hurt to fly. The takeoff was fine, but the landings made my eardrums feel like they were going to rupture. In addition to the surger...

other discomforts like a tender shoulder or achy lower back from lying in a weird position for too long and that causes me to toss and turn until the alarm goes off at 5:30. While probably minor issue...any discomfort that messes with sleep is a potential factor in overall sleep quality declining. ...

Something to think about as I am throwing this out there as potential contributing factors to crappy sleep. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/sexual-health/in-depth/testosterone-therapy/art-20045728 Testosterone therapy has various risks, including: Worsening sleep apnea — a potentially ...

Forgive me if I already asked this question but do you take any meds of any kind? If so, what? I take an Armour Thyroid pill every morning for hypothyroidism. I also use a Testosterone cream for hypogonadism. I drink coffee. Avoid alcohol. But do smoke a cigar most evenings while I relax on the bac...

Rubicon, this has all been eye opening for me, and I'm truly grateful.

Here's last night, with the O2 Ring data added.

Also, I have an O2 ring coming in this afternoon. I'm not sure if that data will be helpful... Well, you don't know if you don't look. Probably be some sub-clinical desats associated with the FLs. Them ain't an issue as much as the arousals the FLs cause. But it's fun to look at squiggles. Squiggle...
