I recently completed a sleep study test with Lofta due to 5+ year history of bruxism (where a night guard to protect teeth), sleeping 9+ hours of sleep and still feeling tired, restlessness, and low HRV.

additional notes: allergic to dust mites and dogs (and we have a golden doodle); i intermittently use antihistamine/corticosteroid nose spray because long term use messes up my nose. A sleep NP that’s a friend of a friend looked in my mouth and says I have a high pallete

I ordered an Aircurve 10 v auto. It took me a couple of weeks to find a mask that fit my face so now I have like 10 days where I had an appropriate amount of leak.

When should I feel better? The lofta RT said she was hopeful since my AHI were low but it was always low; and she says the machine doesn’t show RDI but that if AHI comes down RDI comes down. Again, makes no sense to me.

I’m pretty new to all of this and still learning. Do I need to wait longer? Try cpap or bipap instead of auto?
I’ve come across recs on here to see an airway dentist - should I do that? How would that help?

Appreciate any thoughts

This is the most elegant mineral sunscreen I have tried that is easily accessible and reasonably priced. And I’ve tried them all. Drugstore mineral sunscreens are usually thick and unpleasant to use, leave the white cast (and I’m fair skinned). Chemical sunscreens burn my family’s eyes so for the face it has to be mineral. Cerave knocked it out of the park. The bottle is small but I kinda like that because it’ll fit in my purse!

Update: a few people have commented that this is actually not a completely mineral sunscreen as there are other ingredients that are known to be chemical sunscreens. Very disappointing. I do not have high hopes that my family‘s eyes will tolerate this, but will try it on them nonetheless and report back.

I have this ficus tenake that has exploded in this self watering pot. Is it time to repot her?
If so, I imagine I’ll have to cut the plastic right?
