Stress makes a difference
Had the worst first part of the nights sleep since going on apap.
Stress and big dry eye pain just did me in. Got up after 1 hr and saw an ahi of 20 on oscar.
Of course i didn’t fall asleep in that hour and even with my cervical collar on I was chin tucking and felt as if the collar was choking me.
Yet after going back to bed about 20-30 minutes later. I slept an additional 5.5 hrs and had a much lower (but still high for me) ahi of 4. Sadly when i plugged the SD card back in. The machine didn’t pick it up. So no data on if those ahi’s were from the first part of hitting the pillow.
This serves as an example of how pain and the associated stress can affect you going to sleep comfortably and jumping the ahi sky high.
