Hey guys,
I wanted to ask if anyone else on here is on CPAP? I was diagnosed last year with mild sleep apnea. After finding the right mask, and pressure I am, after 5 months of therapy I am at an Apnea index of oAHI of 1/hr and cAI of 2/hr with a leakage of 3%, which is considered really good.
My problem... my deep sleep, it hasn't really improved. You are supposed to get 15 minutes of deep sleep for every hour you are sleeping. So if you sleep 8 hours, you are supposed to get 2 hours of deep sleep.
I average about 6-7 hours of sleep a night, and I am lucky to get 90 mins of deep sleep once or twice a month. Some days are none at all, the average for the last month is 1/2 an hour. So I am not waking up as refreshed as I should be.
Just for reference, I don't get up multiple times during the night, I fall asleep usually in 10-15 mins. Wake up once to pee (anywhere between 3-5 am)... and then usually fall back asleep.
Anyone else in this same situation? I would love some input.
Best,
Steve
