This place is an AWESOME resource for those that need it. It's the one place that gives me hope that I can get my apnea under control.

I just really want to try the wake me in my lightest sleep idea. Tried it with my phone last night and was actually very surprised when I didn't wake up like a zombie today.

Thx chunky frog.

Windcpap agree and disagree. Accuracy nope. Alarm on my wrist that gently wakes me instead of blaring alarm yes. I don't really need a graph. My machine is old and is a pain to get any software on.

Wife gave me an Apple Watch for Christmas. Anyone know of a good sleep "tracker" app? I have downloaded a few but no luck so far. I am really looking for a watch app that has an alarm that will wake me in my lightest sleep cycle along with a graph of somewhat sorta what my sleep pattern is.

My ENT never said she advised against it. She said she sees many adults a year and typically out of the few hundred adults she sees only 5 are truly surgery candidates where they would see some sort of benefit. She said I would be considered one of those 5. My tonsils are closer to the center of my ...

Gotcha.

I understand 1 & 3 but am trying to understand #2.

I was really happy when I heard that.

I was prescribed a Resmed AutoSv. The pressure was set to 30/10. I wore it off and on for 3 years or so. I have tri...

If I could get to a dental appliance I would be over the moon.

I have always had issues with the size of my tonsils. The main purpose for the surgery is I think I get Strep often but do not show symptoms other than a sore throat. With a 3 year old and 6 week old it's also so I can open my airway up and breath a bit better when chasing them around. I also occasi...

So anyone here have these two procedures done? I am having them done in one week and am very nervous.

I'm back. Since the last reply I have switched over to a Whisp. I tape my mouth shut ms wear a breath right and while not perfect it's much much better. A few questions: Pugsy, The machine you linked above is the machine I have. As far as data collection I guess I am stuck with the respironics softw...
