Re: Getting up to pee several times per night

I'll raise my hand as someone who gets up in the middle of the night a lot to pee. My bladder is NOT full, I'm pretty sure that it's not waking me up, but once I'm awake I often can't go back to sleep without emptying what is there. I'm pretty sure this doesn't have much to do with my sleep problems...

Re: Day 0 questions from a total newbie

Prone: 0/0, Supine: 23/19, Side: 68/14 Do you know how many minutes you slept in each sleep stage while in the prone position? It should be on your sleep study summary. Unfortunately the only output I have from the sleep study is a one-page summary. As far as position, it shows only the number of e...

test says I slept over an hour on my back?!?

I finally got a print out of my sleep study, and what jumps out at me is that there is a section which says that I had 23 events while supine, for an AHI index of 19, 68 events while on my side for an AHI of 14, and 0/0 for prone. If I understand this correctly, it says that I slept on my back for o...
