I survived!

Thank you to all of my cheerleaders out there! I made it through the night with few complications. I slept from midnight until 6 am with my CPAP on, and it really went pretty well. I did have a harder time initially falling asleep than usual, but the mask was pretty comfortable and didn't appear to ...

If you have a regular physician, ask for a diagnostic sleep study. Ask them to refer you to a sleep lab to have it done. In my case, I don't really have a regular physician, so I just called a nearby university medical center, asked for the sleep disorders clinic, and made my own appointment. I have...

I know that I want to get all the data from my machine that I can. If I get a machine that is "full data capable" do I still need t...
