Breathing patterns and awake state

[Dog Slobber]

I'm aware that EEG is the only real reliable method to determine sleep/wake state, however I've noticed that my breathing patterns seem to be much more volatile when I am awake.

This volatility is shown on my Flow Rate and Exp. Time graphs, as well as other SleepyHead breathing graphs.

For example, last night I didn't have a very good sleep an woke up several times. I believe this is represented by the increased Flow Rate and Exp. Time at 1:00, 1:35, 4:15, 4:30, 7:35, and 8:35 (Included SleepyHead graph

Had it not been for these periods my numbers would be almost perfect. I would appreciate opinions and if this is unique to me or are these breathing patterns noticeable by others.

Awake breathing is very irregular. sleep breathing should be regular. You're completely normal in this regard.
