Re: Restless leg
Yep... you could be having a lot of awake/semi awake flagged events that aren't real. We call them SWJ or sleep/wake/junk.
If you spend a lot of time awake or tossing and turning the machine might flag awake breathing irregularities as some sort of apnea event and give you a false positive and thus higher than you want AHI.
Definitely possible.
The nights where my back pain is really bad and my sleep quality poor and lots of tossing or turning and wake ups...my AHI is always higher and it almost is always primarily SWJ.

Re: Restless leg
I sometimes have knee pain (old knees-original equipment).
Sometimes putting a pillow under the knee helps me.
Cheap and easy if it works.
