Will hard sneeze be counted as Obstructive Event? - speedoflight - 01-19-2025
In last session, around 7 am I got up but was simply coasting last few mins at bed while still having mask on. I did few hard sneezes at 7:06 am. I checked my AppleWatch to record the time to check later in OSCAR to see whether it was recorded as a Snore event and hence know the time exactly. My OSCAR data shows it as a OS event! I did not record the exact seconds as I have analog time display.
So I'm wondering whether my hard sneezes were counted as OS event by CPAP machine? OR probably I woke up after the OS event and had my hard sneezes? I was fairly awake but had some stints of sleep. My AppleWatch also shows few mins of REM cycle in the last 15-20 mins of sleep and exactly a minute of REM between 7:05 and 7:06.
PFA snapshots for reference. PS: I'm on central and OSCAR data is in eastern I guess.
I understand this post might be too nerdy or too silly for some, just want to clarify my thoughts and learn from it. Thank you!

The plot does not seem to be a sneeze.

Typical sneeze will appear as a rapid large inspiration followed by greatly amplified exhale. I agree with G. Szabo
