Re: Soon to be a newbie

Hello again, Finally got the machine on Friday. Huge difference in energy during the day. Average AHI of about 3 for the last 3 days. I sleep well without waking for about the first 4 or 5 hours and then the next few I've been tossing and turning a bit. But those 4 or 5 hours are making a world of d...

Re: Sleep Apnea & Mental Health

I had about 4 hours on the machine at the sleep lab and was still amazed at how I felt the next day.

Soon to be a newbie

Hello all, Nice to be here. I am 46 years old and as it turns out I have fairly severe sleep apnea with an AHI of 50.7 per hour and total RDI 53.5. I am still learning all of this so forgive me if I'm posting things that don't actually matter much. My understanding is that I stopped breathing over 5...
