Are AHI levels artificially lowered if you run CPAP while awake? - sleepydragon - 04-04-2023
Sometimes I run my CPAP and it takes me hours to fall asleep or I wake up in between and I can't get back to sleep for hours. Does this produce an artificially lower AHI as well as produce wonky results when you look at chart data in Oscar since presumably you'd have fewer events while awake?
