6 months later..snoring less but taking more naps?

Hi so before I got the CPAP I was regularly getting 5 - 6 hours of sleep and waking up early, probably because my sleep quality was so poor. It's been 6 months and I've settled around a pressure working for me (14.5 - 15). I've noticed my daytime yawning is reduced, but I've also noticed that I take...

Re: First 5days on CPAP - AHI headed in the wrong direction?

I've largely been going to bed at consistent times and leaving myself to sleep for 8 and a half hours, but I find myself waking up around 7 hours for whatever reason. I will say that I do feel like I wake up with a more energetic approach to take on the day, but I can't say im not tired. I wake up a...

Re: First 5days on CPAP - AHI headed in the wrong direction?

Update -- been gradually bumping up the pressure, im on a new 3rd mask (nose pillow) as of last night. I dont know why I still wake up tired everyday, and I dont know what my ideal pressure is because my 2nd night the titration study failed.

Re: First 5days on CPAP - AHI headed in the wrong direction?

Thank you to whoever suggested the 8 pressure setting. AHI consistently around 1 with 8 pressure.

I've noticed I have less "brain fog", but I still wake up tired as shit like I got hit by a train in the morning. Im wondering if anyone else has insight.

Re: First 5days on CPAP - AHI headed in the wrong direction?

Update: I switched to the mask I couldn't make fit in my signature and actually got it to fit. The air is more restricted than the nasal pillow, and thats when I realized the pressure did feel low. At 7 I had to take slow long breaths to control my breathing. I bumped it up to 8 and had a great 3 ho...

Re: First 5days on CPAP - AHI headed in the wrong direction?

Ok I will try to leave it at 7 for a few days. The AHI I'm seeing in Oscar is not the same AHI I see on my device screen. Is that expected? Im concerned because apparently on a 4 minimum pressure I had an AHI of 0.66, but I find that very hard to believe

Re: First 5days on CPAP - AHI headed in the wrong direction?

I see, gotchya. I think the 1 - 3 AHI shows me at least that range is possible. I'd like to get that 3 and less consistently. I haven't really reduced the brain fog too much yet, I still regularly wake up feeling tired but I look forward to feeling what everyone else talks about.

Re: First 5days on CPAP - AHI headed in the wrong direction?

I see your minimum pressure went up over time. Looking forward to getting to a 0 AHI! I think where I missed out was my titration study failed (couldn't sleep and sleep tech was giving me a lot of attitude / hostility / wouldnt let me try masks because she's lazy and short and can't reach). My frien...

Re: First 5days on CPAP - AHI headed in the wrong direction?

Update: Decided not to wait, bumped min pressure to 7 and my AHI last night was a 3! I feel really crappy this morning because I slept from 4AM to 12PM and had bathroom interuptions (Quesadilla from last night had to go), but im super happy the AHI is down to a 3

Thank you

Re: First 5days on CPAP - AHI headed in the wrong direction?

i'm open to trying that but everything is locked on my machine and I have a doctor call this Monday, so I probably will wait for that first before trying to change the settings. I haven't felt air-starved at 4, or maybe I am and won't realize it until I change the ramp and minimum. Since I practice ...

Thanks, does that mean this is within the realm of normal and expected?

Re: First 5days on CPAP - AHI headed in the wrong direction?

Haha about all I've done is wash it with water... I don't think it's that since its the first few days?

I tried the Small sized piece today and AHI was 6 something today
