Did my sleep test 4 years ago at home. I have no issues using my CPAP machine and I get great sleep and can monitor my results on my phone daily. My visits once a year to my local sleep foundation have given back raving reviews on said results. No biggie - just use distilled water and clean your equipment often.

That Resmed 10 is awesome, if you end up with that one. Starts pretty low and ramps up once you're asleep.

I know a lot of people complain about the sound, or how uncomfortable the mask is, etc. but for me sleeping made the adjustment so much easier. Maybe if I had struggled to sleep initially, I would have blamed the mask, and maybe give up too quickly on using a CPAP machine. I stopped sleeping 44 times over the course of my sleep study, but I only woke up 40 times. The other 4 I somehow started breathing again before I could wake up. My CPAP machine changed my life. I still suffer from insomnia, but when I can sleep, I actually stay asleep thanks to my CPAP machine. |
That's awesome, good sleep is a life-changer. I couldn't do the res med 11, but I have been sleeping MUCH better just using a nasal dilator and ashwagandah or melatonin. I don't know what my sleep stats are now or how it affects my central apnea, but I have completely stopped waking up in a sweaty "panic". I usually only wake up once or twice a nice now, which was unfathomable a few months ago.

Stereotype about OP has been updated. |
Took an at-home test last month. The test wasn't a big deal, just one night of less than ideal sleep conditions. But it showed a green light the next morning which says it captured what it needed. The lab received it and let me know I've been diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea. Appointment to review and discuss later this month.
A CPAP sounds miserable. I took the test because I snore, but I generally sleep heavy and don't get tired or sleepy during the day. So it's hard to envision wearing a mask at night. Other option is an Inspire implant solution. We'll see. |
