Ok, so I got diagnosed last year with severs OSA (AHI 34). I've been on CPAP and then moved to ASV as I developed complex sleep apnea (TECSA) from the CPAP device - leading to central apneas, leading me to wake up every night.

Unfortunately, I can't tolerate ASV either, I still keep waking up, after which I can't fall back asleep with the mask.

I am wondering if I indeed have severe OSA or actually UARS. I never wake up gasping for air and my O2 ring shows few desaturations below 92%. Doc ordered another sleep study (as the previous was done in a different hospital).

Question is, even if the diagnosis changes from OSA to UARS, how do I actually treat it? I am contemplating using some light sleep medicine for two weeks to see if I can actually get used to ASV.

Funny thing is, I feel quite good when I don't use any device. I had turbinate reduction/deviated septum surgery, so perhaps that helped. I usually do puff air at night and snor according to my wife.

Any ideas what else I can try?

Moved places recently and I'm unfortunate enough to have a lot where the wind tends to blow a lot of sand onto my car. Normally, I go to wheels-to-wheels once a week for a wash, but it now just gets too dusty too quickly and I don't have time to go more often.

Normally I would avoid the guys at the carpark or hanging around in the basements as it generally isn't great for your car when they use the same microfiber cloth for dozens of cars causing swirls etc.

Question is - I now have a car with PPF and I was thinking that it's probably less sensitive to above problem than bare paint would be. Can I safely do this?
