EEG not enough sleep cycles
I purchased a Muse S EEG band to test at home, I'm not completing my sleep cycles as you can see the arousals.
I used to sleep with cpap device but was waking all the same, my AHI was always less than 0.5.
no PLMD either.
not sure what is the next step

Re: To all the good people on this forum, if you know what can help please reply
i have not done the DISE yet, but i have been reading more about UARS and it looks like most of my symptoms are UARS related. ( low AHI, cold hands/feet, extreme fatigue through the day, arousals all night with RERAs, light sleep, narrow jaw and narrow throat, crowded teeth and elevated tongue ) now...

Re: Three months in and I still feel like absolute crap
I know I'm little late to the party but I have exact same symptoms without the nightmares or the meds. Almost 4 months on CPAP/biLevel and horrible sleepiness through the day. I also think my nervous system is not letting me have that deep restorative sleep. As well as I have a high REM apnea that I...

Could you please do a quick review? i'm stuck..
I've been getting very low AHIs, usually less than 1. but i can not stay asleep at night, i'm attaching the zoomed out graph, then zoomed in on airflow. Each time i wake up, i mark it , i can not see anything weird right before the arousals. This has been going on for a while now and i can not figur...

Re: Inexplicable fragmented sleep
I agree with JNK, your chart looks pretty good. You need to remember that CPAP can not fix poor sleep due to causes other than Sleep Disordered Breathing. If poor sleep results from other than SDB, no amount of CPAP tweaking will make it better. That said, it does take some time to become accustome...

Re: Inexplicable fragmented sleep
A tennis ball disrupts sleep. Consuming nothing but water for the hours preceding sleep can help some with aerophagia. It can also sometimes help the LES heal when there is nothing in the stomach when you go horizontal. If you go back to sleep after waking up, don't worry too much about waking up. ...

Re: Inexplicable fragmented sleep
What happened August 2018? Any big weight increase around that time? It looks like pressure should be higher, but you could not tolerate it. I would say increase it 0.5 at a time to higher pressures. my thorat developed LPR (Laryngopharyngeal Reflux) , which narrowed the airflow. How do you know i ...

The main issue is i can't have a good night sleep because i keep waking up 4-5 times a night ( always in rem cycle, i wake up remembering the dream) This ...
