Hell yeah I had a really poor memory and was always exhausted. I had to nap every day. Now with the CPAP I get 8 hours of sleep and I can remember things that happened weeks ago

Do you remember what your AHI (Apnea-Hypopnea Index, number of "events" oper hour) was? Normal is 5 or less, severe sleep apnea is 30 or more - I was at 69 events an hour. Considering an event is either 10 seconds or more without breathing (or a more or less equivalent drop in blood oxygenation due to partial respiratory tract blockage), it means I wasn't breathing for at least an hour and half every night 😂

I was 27. With the CPAP I'm down to less than one. It's amazing

Same. My AHI was 59. And during my sleep study there was on event where I didn't breathe for more than a minute. My oxygen saturation got down to 81, that's pretty scary. And that was likely happening to me every night for the last 15 years or more.

Since starting on my CPAP two months ago, my life has massively improved. I wake up feeling great most mornings. I still sometimes feel tired in the afternoons, but not on the level as before.
