So I went to the doctor today and she was translating the results for me. She showed me these cool little graphs of how I sleep and my oxygen levels etc.
To sum up the studies, before I was on CPAP I got about 2 hours of real sleep a night. I stop breathing 36 times an hour and my oxygen levels dropped to around 80%. With the CPAP I had 3 episodes where I stopped breathing but I got almost 5 hours of sleep.
The graphs were really cool and it showed me why I was able to function with such little sleep and why my mind needed such long periods of sleep where I slept 12+hrs. I was deprived of REM Sleep.
I also got some meds to keep me alert, incase I need something to keep me awake with all the boringness of work. I also got some meds to put me to sleep so that I can try to get my Circadian rhythm back in order (although I think my body is on a 36 Hr circadian rhythm)
I saw the Comedy Central Special and you can see me in the audience a few times (Upclose, not far away shots)
