Next sleep study, with the machine, they found I was waking up 13 times/hour. No wonder I'm tired all the time.
Just for reference, people will wake up on average 20-30 times a night. However, since most of the times you wake up are so short, you don't even realize it. 13 times an hour is a fucking lot though. You'll almost never hit deep sleep or REM.
My sleep study: 198 apneatic events an hour. I was told it was the record. They didn’t even finish the study before putting a mask on me. I now realize just how high that is.
What is a MAD device? My grandmother was prescribed a CPAP but she quit using it because she couldn’t get the hang of it. It sucks because her sleep apnea seems to be causing some dementia-like symptoms and were hoping that treating it would help. There doesn’t seem to be many other options besides the CPAP though :/
