Sorry, forgot to "back out".

Anyway, note the irregularity in breathing in the Detailed (bottom) screen despite the lack of events:

As opposed to this area near the end of the night, nice little stretch of solid sleep:

Let's get the raw data from that. What unit did they use?

A 68 second Unknown Apnea?

Not an apnea at all. Note massive leak:

So what is the stuff right before and after the 68-second long flagged apnea that ain't because of the massive leak? Sleep wake junk? An arousal? Wake? Disturbed sleep?

I'd say it looks pretty SWJy.

Thanks very much for all this, Morbius! I'll send fax's from the Internet and I'm going to request the raw data from both the home and hospital study (though I don't know whether they will give it to me, or whether they even still have it). I'm not sure what the unit for the home sleep study was called. I think it attached to my finger--and was a black box, not that big. You could hold it in one hand. I really can't remember more than that.

I exported all the data I have in Sleepyhead into a .cvs file and put it on dropbox here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/bqwkbmqh7lwao ... 6.csv?dl=0


I'm wondering if I have sleep apnea or not. I'm supposed to buy the machine at the DME tomorrow.

Perhaps it's because I do not work at a drug store...

At any rate, upload the file

c:/Documents and Settings/YourName/MyDocuments/SleepyHeadData/Profiles/YourName

well, *I* was laughing at that one and even related it to someone else.

I'm also suspecting coming reports of problems with finding the file in the YourName folders...

Sorry about getting the file wrong:
I went to the directory you mentioned and put all the files there into a zip.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/jspslew1bndc7 ... y.zip?dl=0

Edit: I also faxed in a request to the hospital for the data from my sleep studies. I'll try to phone them tomorrow but it is hard to get a hold of a real person.

Lol, I'm having a hard time picturing you saying "so I go like". It's Valley Girl speak not monster from ID'ish at all.
Morbius, are you bored?
