Re: Is a Pulmonologist a good fit for a sleep doctor?

How much sleep 'interest' does the pulmonologist have... because they'd be at least as good as, if not usually better than, a neurologist. Are they known to have a subspecialty in sleep?

OSCAR trend definitions?

I just started using OSCAR, been using CPAP since 2005 but I was wondering if there was a thread of trend definitions. I want to understand what these things mean. Some are self explanatory. Sorry if it was right in front of me and I didn't see it lol!

Thanks!

My first night using Oscar!

I wake up a lot and I don't know why. Downloaded oscar to help. I sleep primarily on my stomach with one leg hitched up. Never been a back sleeper.
