It isn't so much of a problem going to sleep as it is when the algorithms have had the 3ish minutes of data. My sleeping BPM is around 18; my awake BPM is under 10. That's a huge difference. Given the fairly particular nature of the issue we're discussing, it seems like an unintended side effect of improved and more precise algorithms more than a step backward.
Yup
There appears to be an issue for a few people. If that is agreed then it is a matter of pinpointing any common aspects of the issue. Then hypothesizing on why.
No step backward unless the evidence suggests one

I've definitely got nasal issues, Dr gave me flunisolide 2 sprays each nostril. It definitely helps and if I use it before bedtime I can usually sleep with mouth shut and both vents clear. However sometimes I'll wake up with my mouth extremely dry, meaning my nose has clogged and I'm breathing through my mouth. I don't remember if that was an issue when I had the 'bumps'.
Thanks for your post, quite interesting. I still can't get my DME to confirm if they know if this is a problem or not.
Thinking of quitting CPAP?
No problem, here's the first thing to do when you quit:
Advanced funeral planning. When you give up CPAP, you'll probably need it.
