Mon, 20 Oct 2008 @ 19:05 || Sleep Study Results || Home

Got the results in the mail today. I need to look up a lot of stuff, I'm guessing on what a lot of it means and not sure if having high numbers is good or low numbers.

Without the CPAP mask
Time asleep 2hrs 2mins
14.5 minutes of N2 sleep
no REM sleep
Sleep efficiency 63%
9 central apneas
22 obstructive apneas
1 mixed apnea
53 hypopneas
16 RERAs
AHI 40/hour
RDI 47.5/hour
RDI supine 138.9/hour
RDI left side 40/hour
RDI right side 64.2/hour
SpO2 low 75% avg 89.9%

With CPAP mask
Time asleep 2hrs 16mins
6 minutes of N2 sleep
5.5 minutes REM sleep
Sleep efficiency 54.7%
AHI 16.8/hour
RDI 28.1/hour
SpO2 low 86% avg 91.1%

So.. if I'm reading this right, wearing the CPAP mask at night I increase my Sp02 avg by 1.1%, not sure if thats worth the cost or the annoyance. The REM sleep is concerning, but not sure if this test is conclusive that I don't get REM sleep w/o a mask. I need to look up the apneas, I still don't understand them.

I was looking to get into a yard sign war with my neighbors. Till I found out Obama is charging $5 a piece for them.
