Pugsy and archangle: thank you SO much for the valuable insights and support. And everyone else who posted in reply to my confused and searching post, especially Chicago Granny: thank you again, too. I will fill out my profile and upload more data when I am able. Today was a bad illness day all arou...

So I'm guessing this is what is called complex or mixed sleep apnea? I would not come to that conclusion without more data. Having some "clear airway" apneas is normal and you showed some nights with only one clear airway event. If you had complex apnea, it should have been noted on your original s...

Lax ligaments would probably account for why I have sleep apnea That certainly could be a factor. tooth crowding This is an indication that your jaw has narrowed. A narrow jaw leaves less room for the airway and makes it more susceptible to collapse during sleep. I agree with kteague. Get a good CP...

Guess what! The ideal sleep hygiene is not the same for everybody. I also have a delayed sleep phase syndrome. If I followed the official sleep hygiene rules, I would sleep like crap. I had to learn what worked for ME. Going to bed at the same time every night does NOT work for me. I need to wait u...

If OSA is your only or at least primary culprit, things should settle down. Yes, other things may be at play, but treating the known factors is your best bet for getting a clearer picture. Just wondering if the REM related stuff will resolve with healthy sleep. One question - Exactly how much was t...

We are all different. I felt horrible when my AHI was only 13. Each apnea interrupted my sleep, leaving me desperate for rest. The number of events is only PART of the equation. Length of each one is important too, as that determines how bad the effect. Sleep hygiene may sound like BS, but it can a...

Hi all, I have the daytime sleepiness symptoms of sleep apnea, including stumbling around exhausted and without functioning memory, but my sleep study results showed only a mild apnea and no other issues besides "non-restorative sleep" (too much time in REM, too little in deep sleep) and delayed sl...

My sleep study showed an AHI > 80. If I have a treated AHI < 3, I get excited! I'll never understand the people that think they are dying with AHI < 1. I don't really understand this. Are you saying that because my AHI is less than yours, I shouldn't feel as I do or experience what I experience -- ...

Yet because I am thin Don't fall for the old myth that obesity is the cause of sleep apnea. This forum is loaded with thin people who have sleep apnea. "It's not the size of the neck on the outside, it's the size of the airway in the neck." - Dr. Mack Jones Shame on your psychologist for thinking t...

If the sleep study showed mild apnea, that means your untreated events were between 5 and 15 per hour. With the CPAP your events have droped to 1.5 per hour. Basically, you have sleep apnea. All the figures you are showing here are "treated with CPAP". Okay, thank you. The first sleep specialist I ...
