I think I missed replying to the number of hours and number of wake ups question. Number of hours isn't horrible. Probably 5 or 6. And number of remembered wake ups isn't that bad either maybe 3 or 4. No recollection of what causes wake up except maybe 1 episode of leaking and readjusting needed. No other outside sleep culprits except for general aging. Its been a few years since I had any minor sleep issues related to menopause symptoms. But i do think hormones are at least part of my problem and solution. I fairly recently started HRT and vitamin regimen which should help not hurt the situation. It includes melatonin, valerian root and magnesium at night. One thing I know I should do. And a lot of people are in the same boat is...exercise. It's hard to get motivated when your normal let alone super sleepy

The hormones could be playing a part. Been there and done that myself. I will be 71 later this month and I'll be damned if I don't have an occasional night time hot flash still yet.

Also maybe you just need more than 5 or 6 hours of sleep to feel your best.
I feel like death warmed over if I don't get close to 7 hours of decent sleep.

Perfect score on device yet I know I was waking up all the time last night. I'm certain I need more hours sleep but I don't fall asleep right away. Which means going to bed earlier doesn't fix my prob and sleeping later isn't an option because life work etc

https://imgur.com/vPty8FV So here is a link. I think I have it all showing in the screenshot. The data look fine (to me) but all I know is I wake up all the time and MyAir says I don't, so I don't trust it. That and I just don't feel rested. I picked a fairly typical day. One that I had commented on in this thread. Once I figure out how to get the screen shot just right I can post a new day or whatever everyone thinks will be helpful! thank you!

I wake up all the time and MyAir says I don't

What does this mean? MyAir does not identify sleep/awake periods.

Apap was not what doctor rx'd. I'm only 4 weeks in and I do have a follow-up. So I'm looking to get armed with questions and requests. Why apap?

As for MyAir I just mean myAir says I'm doing great but I know I'm Not because of my wakeups.
