6 hours monitored, 3.5 hours slept, 25 lapses into apnea. In deep sleep the rate practically doubles for me.

Diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea, as they said the line for severe with that duration was 30. I’m genuinely relieved that I know it’s not a habit-centric issue causing this. Also may play a part in the amount of stress I’ve had trying to stay on top of my junior year semesters, along with my ADHD. I AM NOT CRAZY chicanery lea-bounce

Getting a CPAP ordered and delivered. If you feel consistently tired throughout the day, look into a sleep study. Anyone can have sleep apnea, it’s not just an aging thing, I’m 20 and I just got diagnosed with it.

Good job gamer! Curious if you still have your tonsils? If it's obstructive apnea it could make a big difference getting them removed, and it did for me.

Also please make sure you get a hard copy of those results and a copy of the prescription itself. Mine from six years ago vanished into the medical document ether and it's so frustrating trying to get things replaced now that my cpap motor is going bad

last thing I swear, if you're interested check out OSCAR, it's foss software that can read the data from compatible cpaps so you can fine tune your machine if your doctor isn't helpful
