My first sleep study(at a sleep clinic)

[smoledman]

I got a 5.7. 3 of those are hypopneas and 2.7 are central apneas. 0 obtructive and 0 mixed events were recorded.

My main issue is waking up in the middle of night(usually 4:30AM) with a headache. Usually I can go back to sleep and get 2.5-3 hours before I wake up for good.

I don't usually have fatigue or concentration problems in the midst of this(last 7 months of waking up with headaches). My co-workers would have noticed given I work as a software engineer and it requires intense concentration.

I only got a quick run-through with the technician because the doctor was at a conference or something. I think I should make an appointment with the doctor to go through the results thoroughly and try to get a CPAP right away. Why should I wait for things to get worse?
