Re: On BiPAP for almost 3 weeks, but still sleeping 11-12 hours a day?

Hello again everyone! I wrote a long reply (mostly an update with a question) but unfortunately I accidentally deleted it lol. But here's the gist of it (still pretty long haha): I'm still discovering new positive changes from the BiPAP 9 months in. My attention, thinking and focus has gotten a lot ...

Re: On BiPAP for almost 3 weeks, but still sleeping 11-12 hours a day?

Oh wow, that's good to know! Honestly, after glancing at a few threads made by people with similar issues and seeing Pugsy post examples of post-arousal breathing, I was starting to suspect it. I really don't know why I'm waking up so much though... I don't have any real reason; it's not like I'm in...

Re: On BiPAP for almost 3 weeks, but still sleeping 11-12 hours a day?

How restless are you as a sleeper? In other words, would you say you're a light sleeper prone to waking up somewhat frequently at night? I don't really think of myself as a light sleeper - I wake up maybe three or four times at most during the night (at least that I can remember), and only very bri...

Re: On BiPAP for almost 3 weeks, but still sleeping 11-12 hours a day?

Oh, one more thing! I don't think it is a mask leak thing either - my machine and OSCAR both show me as having quite a low leak rate and my seal feels good. I guess maybe it's just an anatomical thing? Edit: Wait, actually, another thing I want to add! (Promise this is the last one lol) OSCAR says m...

Re: On BiPAP for almost 3 weeks, but still sleeping 11-12 hours a day?

Hello! Back once again after realizing my treated AHI is really not great and pretty unusual for someone with sleep apnea because I saw a post on /r/cpap asking people what they had before treatment and after treatment - most people were under 2! Even when I sleep on my side (at least, I think I'm s...

Oh, thank you! I didn't read closely enough - I should have realized! I appreciate the explanation. I'm glad my breathing is normal :) I appreciate the answer!

Re: On BiPAP for almost 3 weeks, but still sleeping 11-12 hours a day?

Hello everyone! I'm back again because I was looking at my OSCAR data recently (I was debating whether I should talk to my pulmonologist about looking into an ASV at my next visit since my machine says my AHI in the morning is usually around 8 or 9, sometimes higher, even if I make sure to sleep on ...

Re: On BiPAP for almost 3 weeks, but still sleeping 11-12 hours a day?

Hi everyone, just wanted to update. I have been using the bipap for a few months now and I am starting to get better. I'm also making some medication changes, albeit very slowly - titrating takes a long time! I have a long train commute to my university, but I'm noticing that I usually don't sleep o...

Re: On BiPAP for almost 3 weeks, but still sleeping 11-12 hours a day?

Hi everyone! I'm back with some OSCAR stuff! I apologize for the weird times of day this was taken! Here is what today's data looks like (lol - 12pm to 2pm - I slept from around 2am to 2pm)! Please ignore the crazy leak - that's not normal for me. I think my mouth just fell open while I was asleep a...

Re: On BiPAP for almost 3 weeks, but still sleeping 11-12 hours a day?

Hi Pugsy, I take a fair deal of medications as I have several health conditions, mostly well-managed - depression (very well-treated now fortunately :) ), ADHD, and a thyroid disorder (Hashimoto's). Off the top of my head (there may be one or two more that I've forgotten), I take levothyroxine (thyr...

Re: On BiPAP for almost 3 weeks, but still sleeping 11-12 hours a day?

Ah, sorry, just read the information for newbies more carefully and saw that it's asked of us not to ask how long things will take to improve lol. In that case, I would like to amend my question to: Has anyone else experienced similar sleep problems and did it improve after starting therapy? :) Apol...

On BiPAP for almost 3 weeks, but still sleeping 11-12 hours a day?

Hi everyone, I am a 24 year old man who recently started BiPAP therapy for a combination of obstructive and central sleep apnea. I have the AirCurve 10 and wear the AirFit F20 full face mask. Untreated, I have sleep apnea on what I think is the low end of severe with a typical AHI in the 40s. Accord...
