RE: iwanttosleepbetter - (Therapy Thread)
thank you! will try that tonight. Do you know where I can view RERAs in Oscar to see how that's being impacted?

RE: iwanttosleepbetter - (Therapy Thread)
Your machine may not rate them, and OSCAR relies on information from the machine to report out.
That said, you can find them yourself if you know what you are looking for. Wherever you have some flow limits, zoom in and see if they end with a sharper, taller intake of breath. That's the signal that you had a partial obstruction that your body decided to wake itself up a little to break through. The airsense 10 does rate them, but tends to under-report a lot. In my own charts, I think it's only flagging about 30-40% of the events that appear like RERAs to my eyes.
Look, I'm an engineer, not a doctor! Please don't take my opinion as a substitute for medical advice.

About the "random 3-minute segments," attaching here what I think you mean? I tried to capture around 2 am when I think I was sleeping. ah, I was able to zoom in to hopefully capture better (attached).

RE: iwanttosleepbetter - (Therapy Thread)
No, this is what you're looking for, some from my charts. The first one is flagged and bears all the classic signs, the rest I found on my own but didn't get a flag. The green line is my cursor line in place of where the flag should be.
Note that the last one in the sequence didn't get anything at all, not even a Hypopnea. Goes to show that our machines do this for our benefit, but they are not infallible.
