What do you need to know...

to help me interpret my sleep study report? I went and picked up a copy of it today. I have decided I need to get a handle on this, I am tired of being tired!! I also will be visiting my heath care office tomorrow for some more answers. I am going to ask them to print off my card, so I can see what is happening until I can get the reader and software up and running

I really am appreciating the support of this board.

Hi njy,

While this message board is great and has tons of hints and help for getting comfortable with cpap treatment, below is a link to where you can see a lot of sleep study reports posted by others, and some very good interpretations by a manager of a sleep lab, who is an RPSGT, RRT and RCIS -- "sleepydave" on that site, "deltadave" on this one.

Seeing those study reports will give you an idea of extra graphs you might want to request from the clinic that did your study, if they did not provide them when they gave you your summary report. Things like the "titration table", for example.

apneasupport.org - sleep studies forum

Hope you get your software up and running soon. It's very interesting to see your own nightly data at home.

I found this article helped put things in layman's terms for me.

Thanks, Elaine. The article helped me understand a bit more of the study.
