She seems to be disregarding the sleep disruptions in lab and is writing them off because I was in a foreign environment. She is assuming my at home #’s would be better.Rubicon wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 1:41 pmWhat is she disregarding? I don't understand your point. You got 7.76 hours of sleep @ 85.9% (a little low as far as efficiency goes, but told them you sleep better at home) and a normal MSLT, so IMO she thinks you're fine there.Billymadison420 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 1:08 pmI guess because my CPAP is at home.

Can my sleep doctor infer the disordered breathing, that you all referred to as sleep/wake/Junk, from the CPAP machine data just the same as you can?
However, sleep disruption is there, they said it's there. You need those values if you want to make a case for anything. And I'm talking about >100 arousals, a bunch of awakenings (number will vary based on length, and we only got 71 minutes of WASO to work with).
I’m a little bit out of my league here with some of these terms. What I’m trying to say is she seems to think I’m fine, like you’re saying she thinks. I guess the million dollar question is. Given the data you’re referencing in the number of arousals. Is it possible I’m catastrophize Ing my fatigue, or the fatigue could also be from depression?
If I don’t have narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia and a sleep doctor thinks that I’m doing relatively fine, maybe I am fine? Is it possible that this is something I’m just catastrophizing? Plenty of people in this world operate a little sleep and do just fine. So either there is something unique to me, or I am coping with it poorly and blowing it up.
Or there really is something wrong and it needs to get treated? I guess I’m confused as to what the case is.
Would, perhaps CBT for insomnia help sleep maintenance insomnia?
