Nap Numbers

Post by OwlCreekObserver » Mon Sep 04, 2006 9:06 am

As a retiree, I'm able to take naps pretty much whenever I want to so it's not unusual for me to lie down for an hour or so during the afternoon. I always use my cpap during those times. I've noticed that my AHI is always quite a bit higher during those naps than during my night time sleeping. This is true whether I use my recliner or stretch out on the bed.

Has anyone else had this experience? Any thoughts as to what may be the likely cause?

My experience exactly the opposite. Almost always my AHI is zero or thereabouts during a 1 hour nap.
