I barely sleep ever lately. And when I do, it's sporadic usually. However, there are days when I get a lot of sleep. But, I still wake up almost every two hours. I'll get up to drink something and go to the bathroom. I just woke up to the sound of a bear rummaging through my garbage. I can't go back to sleep now. I have a big mess to clean up at sunrise.
As far as a recording app, I'll try that. It sounds interesting. If I'm not breathing for a few seconds before I wake, will I hear gasping sounds?
Yep. You will hear basically silence and then you will hear a huge gasp for air, as if you were underwater for a long time and about to drown.
That sounds scary. I actually almost drowned two times when young. Wonder if that has something to do with my sleep disorder. I've had it since I was young. But at times, its seems worse.
You sound like someone tech averse and I wouldn’t blame you if you were, but the smart watches they have out today are like mini sleep labs.
I gifted my dad my Fitbit sense and got the ball rolling on his lifetime sleep apnea problem. What happens is that when you have an apnea spell, the device can see that your blood oxygen level dips and your heart starts to race to make up for it. That shit can happen a hundred times per night and not wake you up to full consciousness.
The crazy thing is that all it took was a nose strip and some dry mouth tablets to fix. No cpap machine, nada.
