Consistently waking up 4 hours after going to sleep with CPAP? - OhCRAPwheresmyCPAP - 12-03-2024
Hi all,
Recently found out through an at-home sleep study I have moderate OSA, with an AHI of 16.5. I've been on a CPAP machine for just over a week now. Every night without fail, I wake up exactly 4 hours after going to sleep on the dot. I have no idea why, I never remember waking up in the middle of the night that often pre-CPAP. It's not to use the bathroom or because the mask is uncomfortable (I've actually adjusted to wearing it very quickly), I just seem to wake up out of nowhere. I don't feel restful at all after waking, so I then very quickly go back to sleep for another 4 hours. Something interesting to note is the first 4 hours sleep I have zero dreams, but the second 4 hours sleep I get very vivid dreams (mentioned this in case it has anything to do with REM stages).
Idk, I feel like I have a little bit extra energy compared to pre-CPAP, but it could be placebo. I've only just put in an SD card into my machine and have one night's worth of data via OSCAR. Is this enough to post up now and analyze or should I come back with a whole week's worth of data?

Figured I would upload the one night's sleep results anyway, here goes:
