As many of you already know, especially those unfortunate enough to have shared a room with me, I snore, apparently quite loud My wife has been prodding me for years to get a sleep study and I finally relented. Lo and behold, it was far worse than I expected - I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. My doctor and CPAP technicians have all said they have never seen AHI numbers as high as mine. Apparently I am having over 67 apnea/hypopnea events per hour
So last night was my first night on CPAP and it will definitely take some time to get used to. I did not sleep well and I am exhausted today. I was able to wear the device all night and my AHI dropped to 23 events per hour - still very high but significantly improved. I am using a ResMed 11 with an F30i mask.
Ultimately, I am interested in surgery to correct the issue, but my doctor suggested I try CPAP first:
