Re: Periodic breathing during REM

Thank you, guys! Yeah, I realize my AHI is quite low, but what I can't figure out is why am I being so fatigued on many days. The day you see in the graphs above (yesterday), I could swear I slept nearly perfectly, but I felt like a "Zombie" (in Sleepyhead terms) all the way until I took a VERY long...

Re: Periodic breathing during REM

I don't see any PB/CSR breathing flagged on this report. So your mention of PB must be from what your eye sees? Is this correct? Correct. I noticed the pattern and realized that there is a strong chance it is associated with REM stage. I assumed this is what "Periodic breathing" looks like, so call...

Re: Periodic breathing during REM

Here you go. Note that for some reason the date in Sleepyhead is one day behind the one on the Fitbit chart. But, they are the same nights. https://i.imgur.com/fqsx27S.png You can see this crazy cluster between 10:05 - 10:30. This is also supposed to be REM according to the Fitbit chart above, but h...

Re: Periodic breathing during REM

Today I compared the data and noticed I had the same patterns last night. They matched the Fitbit graph to a minute and had the same breathing patterns that would start and end at nearly exact times. For the sake of the discussion, here is what the Fitbit graph looks like: https://i.imgur.com/6y3Ykp...

Periodic breathing during REM

Hi guys. I've noticed that I have constant waxing and waning breathing patterns during my REM sleep. This isn't 100%, and I have no EEG to prove that it is really REM, but Fitbit fitness watch that I am using and data it produces during sleep perfectly matches these patterns. In other words, when Fi...

Re: Healthy person on APAP - what would happen?

Thanks, everybody for your insightful responses. It was very educational, although I have no idea how did it turn into a cat discussion all of a sudden :lol: The reason behind my question is that I had a sleep test done and had a very mild sleep apnea detected (AHI: 5.8 ). I wasn't very convinced be...

Healthy person on APAP - what would happen?

Hi everyone. I've been following this forum for a while and just registered because I am curious about this scenario. So, as the subject suggests, what would happen if you put a healthy person on an APAP, 4 to 20 cmH2O? Let's ignore the fact that this person would probably need some time to adjust b...
