My doctor to me a watchpat could not tell what a person was experiencing. That it could only tell how many per hour.

I use my apap every night for the past three months and still am sleep during the day. When I awake in the morning, if I sit down in my living room chair there is an 80% chance of me going back to sleep (I'm retired). This is even after up to seven hours sleep.
