LOL! Mary, I won't be trying out for the Apnea Olympics anytime soon. Pugsy, I didn't change the clock. I'm making the assumption that it is an automatic change with programming built into the device. The 12 noon to 12 noon day would account for it. I believe DST started at 2 AM Sunday and the gap s...

When I checked my readings this morning there were some strange anomalies in the charts. The first one is the one hour gap in the readings. I'm assuming that was due to the change in daylight savings time. If so, the program was off by one day. The next is the second event from the left. It goes rig...

Last night was only a 4 hour night, but I learned something very important. At 3:30 I woke up breathing in what I thought was a smelly sock. I realized that I had not filled the humidifier and I was smelling the cooking of the biological residue on the bottom of the reservoir that had not been washe...

LOL! Point taken. I have a rule that says it's OK to talk to yourself. It's also OK to argue with yourself, but you are in big trouble if you lose the argument!

Choker, I'm not sure to what observation you are referring. However, with all due respect, any observation could only confidently classified as inaccurate if the technology was of sufficient quality to crate a reading that could be classified as accurate with a significant degree of confidence.

Agreed and understood. My use of the term artifacts is due to the fact that the machine is sensing the event and labels it the only way it knows how. It is up to us to interpret whether it is true apnea or something created artificially. Besides, I like using the term, artifact.

OK. On Monday I will call my Dr. about checking my Ferritin level, but the good news is the Ivory soap seems to still be doing the trick for me. I did another trail camera night two nights ago and had only a handful of movement. Last night I had he best night so far. I had over 7 hours of sleep and ...

To vvv, as far as I know, I have never had my serum ferritin level tested. I had no idea that it was related to RLS until your comment. After doing some research on the topic, I would say that most likely, genetics is the primary driver of my RLS. My sister has it. I just called and found that she h...

Jay, that's interesting. Whatever the reason for working, I would think we can safely rule out the placebo effect, unless of course RLS is a psychological condition.

Since doing the initial 3-night study, I've recorded an additional three nights. I'm pleased to say that the Ivory soap had been doing the trick. On two of the nights, I had taken Ambien and on the other Clonazopam. On the Ambien nights, there were roughly 20 movements as opposed to 127 in the sleep...

John. the Ivory soap just gets unwrapped and placed under the fitted sheet on my bed. I place it down near my ankles. Why it works and why it for some and not for others is a mystery. Last nights pictures again showed little or no leg movement again. Ad quietmorning, in 6 months when I change it, I ...

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I have Adobe Premier Pro that I know will handle the stills, buy seldom use it. I might give it a try. The software that comes with the trail camera also makes a video, but it can't be saved. I do have a number of options for making the video. I just have to ...

I just completed a three night sleep study using a Bushnell trail camera which took pictures at one minute intervals. The study was to test the effect of three different drugs on my restless leg syndrome. The first night I took 10 mg Clozepam and counted 80+ leg movement. Since it was only one pictu...

Well I set up my trail camera to catch the wildlife in my bed. I took one picture every minute and this is what I found. I only had three events during the night. All three took place within a 3 minute period that corresponded with 2 major leaks (25+). It was roughly a 1 min leak, followed by 1 minu...

At this point, I'm just going with what my Dr. and I discussed. Right now things are going in the right directions. Considering I had more than 300 events during the sleep study and just 3 last night, I think I'll just stay the course. I suspect the more I get used to it, the better it will get.
