Help Understanding Sleepyhead

Post by kasiahbug » Sat Apr 28, 2018 9:27 am

Can anyone give me a quick tutorial on sleepyhead? What am I looking at/for? How do I use the best data?

I have used the data from his oximter and it's basic - I like sleepyhead in that it gives HR highs etc - his has gone up to 226 at night. (Last night was decent).
We met with a sleep center Dr the other day and she called his PCP saying she was pretty concerned looking at the sleep strips I showed her. We went to get a C-pap but she said he needs an urgent sleep study (last one was a year ago) and a C-pap will not be the answer but likely bipap or some other machine that starts with an "a".

There is a tutorial here - viewtopic/t88983/Pugsys-PointersSleepyH ... Hints.html

If you still have questions after that, post them in this thread.

Thanks for the links - C-pap is

Can this be accurate?
The strips show the same pattern over and over and over -- It looks almost cloned???
