My sleep study showed fairly normal sleep until the wee small hours of the morning, so I slept pretty normally between about 11pm and 3am and then I would start to get restless and showed a few hypopneas (but no apneas) from then on.
This tied up nicely with my usual experience when I would go to bed around 10pm, fall asleep quite easily, and then wake up sometime between 2am and 4am with my nose feeling constricted at the top, particularly the left nostril, occasionally with a snort that emanated from the nose. This happened typically 5 days in 7, sometimes more sometimes less.
However, one thing that I have noticed (excepting the first night) is that my sleep pattern has so far been exactly the same as before going onto CPAP. Two nights ago I had a good night's sleep, but all other nights I have woken with exactly the same feeling in my nose.
I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?
Okay, I've only been on the CPAP machine for a week so I probably need to give it a while longer and talk it over with the doc on my follow-up appointment, but right now I think the focus should be on what's happening up my hooter
(I had septoplasty this time last year for a deviated septum, which helped for about a month, before things returned pretty much to what they had been before).
Just thinking aloud, really
