And something to remember is that he's older, not a pro athlete (even if he ever was long ago) and likely has other conditions that complicate his story. Not everything's about OSA or Cpap, and I'm sure it's ok to play with 1-2 cm at a given time for a few days, but it's also important to try one t...

There is no harm in trying. One extra cm won't make such a difference anyways. I encourage people to "listen" to their bodies and if you can, get into analysing your own data on sleepyhead. That's what i did and that's how i finally got relief on exercise days. For most people, metabolism up regula...

Probably. And, there is no need to raise the CPAP pressure to deal with false event flags. His other problem is having a straight CPAP (according to his equipment profile).

Yes i actually answered this in my last post as well, it could be related to overtraining and worse quality of sleep depth. The brain might be less able to regulate breathing mechanisms which would otherwise be smoother when person is not sore and CNS is not haywire. There is a lot going on but my ...

I'm just trying to share what helped me because it actually worked for me and i no longer have issues with my cpap on days i exercise a little more intensely ! So i wanted to pass it on

His problem seems obvious: feel sore and tired from it already at night , He's sore. He doesn't sleep as well and gets a lot of false event flags. He would be better off cutting back on the exercise intensity/length and getting a good night's sleep. Physical conditioning is not just about exercise....

The AHI is increasing because the pressure is too low ( due to an increased demand from the lungs for more air intake, due to metabolism change for the 24-48 window following exercise) Therefore the pressure is not sufficient, therefore the airways collapse. Deeper breathing doesn't at all explain ...

And that's why one of the reasons they came up with APAP's, when properly set up, they will cover the increase. Jim Changes in what we do daily affects our needs. I appreciate the input but unless the dreamstation is doing a very bad job, the increases in pressure are too sporadic and doesn't fully...

i know why you need more pressure on days you exercise. CPAP works by splinting the airway open with pressure. For your explanation to be credible, it would need to explain why the airway is more easily collapsible on days of heavy exercise. The OP never followed up on the thread. In the meantime, ...

This is an old thread but i know why you need more pressure on days you exercise. Yes you do sleep deeper probably but the main reason is that your metabolism is increased for a good 24 hours if not 48. It is not true to assume that within a couple of hours everything is back to baseline. Therefore,...
