Alcohol and CPAP

[S.L. Ping Beauty]

I find that since using CPAP that when I indulge a little too much that my hangovers are not as bad the next day.

Agree, nice side benefit!

Count me in too. My AHI is lesser when sleeping with alcohol in my system.
However, my heart rate monitor tells me that my sleeping heart rate is higher when I sleep with alcohol in my system.

I used to have higher AHIs when I drank b/f going to bed. Since upping my min cmH2O, drinks don't seem to affect my numbers anymore.

B/f cpap, wine or beer would give me a headache the next morning. Glad that's mostly over, unless it's pretty bad reds on the house, then it's something else from the fermentation process.

For me, I notice that if I take a Manhattan or Margarita, my AHI that night will bump up and double. Not so much with a glass of wine or a small beer. Also, if I have any kind of worry or argument in my mind, that night my AHI will also worsen. 

When I used the full mask and I tried several Resmed types, my AHI would fluctuate from AHI 2.0 to 9.0 then after I changed to the Airfit N10 the AHI ranges would be 1.0 to 4.0 on a bad night. Since I have been using the Airfit N20 my AHIs have mostly ranged below 1.0  and I even had a couple nights with 0.0 reading which surprised me. Last night I had a Manhattan  3 hours before sleep as I wanted to relax and my AHI bumped up to 1.9
