Just virtually met our new Social Media Manager at work. Seems like she's done this before, which is a good thing.
@matigo Alright. Sleeptracker only recorded a few snores, which is fairly consistent with the AHI readings on my CPAP.
Less gear than a sleep study in a clinic and I'm in my own bed. Could definitely be worse. We'll see how it goes.
I get to spend all night sleeping with this contraption strapped to my chest. And tubes up my nose. ?
@tewha when I was diagnosed, my apnea was fairly mild (I think 8 incidents an hour). Under 5 is considered normal. My AHI on the CPAP is typically 1-2 (some days, like .5)
I am going to use Sleeptracker to record myself this evening also (which I haven't done in quite some time). I'm really curious if my snoring without CPAP is any better as that was an issue for years before I was diagnosed.

@matigo to be honest, I'm not sure which result I will like better.
On my last trip, I intentionally left my CPAP at home. That's because I would only be able to use it one of the two nights I was gone (the other was in an airplane). I think I slept ok, but alcohol was also involved. :P
I've done sleep studies before, but they've always been in a clinic. This will be the first time I've done one at home.
I have mixed feelings about a potentially positive result. I've gotten used to CPAP, yet not having to carry it would make travel much easier.
