I took a nap yesterday

Post by TheDreamer » Thu Feb 26, 2009 11:33 am

I was feeling very tired when I got home, so I thought I would lay down for a second and close my eyes.

Though I've been known to do this and lose large chunks of time, so I rolled over and put my mask on.

I woke up suddenly feeling very strange, and I couldn't tell if the machine was working....(until I removed my mask and felt it) I knew time had gone by....probably about 30 minutes.

Well, I just looked at my data....and apparently during the nap I had a single big OA event that woke me from the nap....and it scored it as 7.2 (OA and AHI). It didn't show any leak during the time, and I don't recall feeling any.

Last night's score is AHI 1.6....

One thought is that I was napping on my side (the bedroom light was on), where usually I spend most of the night on my back (and it was the only position I slept in during the sleep study).
