AHI 0.0

Post by Catnapper » Tue Mar 11, 2025 3:14 pm

I have been using an auto-bipap for 18+ years. Consistently I have AHI of less than one. It still makes me smile when I see 0.0 on my data screen.
Bragging? Yes, but also encouraging others that it does happen, even after all these years. For me it just took finding the right mask, right machine and right pressure.

true. all of that.

for the newbies: while we celebrate zero, we don't chase it.

I also hit 0.0 a few days a month, and most other days are 0.2-0.5. Once in a while I will have a night with 1.2 or so, but I don't really feel different.
My sleep doc looks at my data each visit, and while he is pleased, he also says not to chase low AHI for the sake of the number.
