All the time I spend studying for the test and I flunked it. I was never so happy.

Base Line study:
309 total respitartory related events (RRAI = 128)
249 apneas
63 hyponeas

O2 satuation = lowest 66% 35% < 90% of duration

191 minutes with 144 minutes of sleep

My AHI was 129.6 and I titrated to an 18 CMS of water.

Result CPAP = 18 with a AHI < 4.2

AHI 83 in NREM and 108 in REM. At 11 cm, I'm down to usually around 4 events total per night.

Wow so many different ranges. My sleep study was from 10 p.m.-5 a.m. Which I didn't sleep well either. So if I did it longer it would be more than 36. I guess its pretty bad. It is scarier than I thought. For other people more than me. So how bad of a snorer are you? I am pretty bad, once in a while I wake myself up. But I wake my husband up. He gets scared because he will listen and not hear me breath he will shake me. Then I start breathing again. I remember going into surgery before I found out I had sleep apnea and when I started to go under, with the mask to be put to sleep. It felt like I started not to breath. I thought I was going to die when I went under. Now I know why. It scares me when that happens. I don't like that feeling. And another time when I was under they hooked me up to a machine to check my breathing. I stopped breathing a few times and the alarm went off and woke me. Then I started to breath. I guess it is more serious than I think. You know, "that won't happen to me", until it does.

i never even thought that I snored, and still to this day don't truly accept that I ever did other than very lightly. But my wife insists that I snored loudly until CPAP.
