Good data after 1 year, but still extremely tired

To OP - I do not mean to minimize your issue, nor to differ with the experts. That said, may I point out one thing. Your original post expresses concern about being in apnea for 6 minutes during the 9 hours and 55 minutes the machine was running. Stated another way, 6 minutes in apnea is 1% of the 995 minutes the machine was on.

The THC in CBD, while small, may be having an effect like alcohol would in interfering with sleep patterns.

Worth a try to switch up timing imo.
You know you might be on to something there. I forgot about the CBD stuff. It could very well be acting like alcohol on the nervous system and messing with sleep quality.

This document does a good job explaining how and why alcohol messes with sleep and I often tell people to read it and just substitute the word "anything" when they see alcohol.
Counting arousal breathing segment episodes seen in the flow rate is one way to get an idea as to just how solidly we sleep and we don't always have an apnea caused arousal or flagged event during the arousal breathing.
We always have a lot more arousals than we remember.

You actually made me think of it when you said it was possibly a sleep quality issue and I recall feeling a bit off if I smoked pot (back in the day) or take CBD at night (which is a much lower dose of THC typically but still there._

I hardly ever drink anymore because it makes me feel like crap but a glass of wine in the evenings doesn't bother me so much that I know of (only 2 weeks on cpap so I dont know because I haven't had wine) but I do know my partner has a horrible nights sleep after a drink of any type. It just isn't "fun" anymore like it was when I was younger.

This is encouraging for the OP, however, 9 hours and 55 minutes is not 995 minutes. It's 595 minutes. I believe you made a typo, as the percentage of time in apnea checks out.
