I sleep like a log for 8 hours a night, my wife believes I am dead, as silent as I am.
I also have no history of any medical or mental condition, exercise regularly, and eat a balanced diet.
Or so the DOT physical exam tells the story every 2 years, as my chiropractor reads it with a raised eyebrow, and a deep sigh as he signs off on it.

Why don’t you just record yourself sleeping ?? You can listen and you can tell basically for yourself. If you hear yourself gasping for air more then 5 times per hour they will probably say you have it.
They are looking to see if someone stops breathing for 10 seconds. That’s 1 Event, if that happens 5 times or more per hour. They will say someone has sleep apnea.
You can check your blood oxygen level in the morning when you wake up. If someone has sleep apnea it will drop when they are sleeping because they are not breathing good. Those blood oxygen reader are cheap like $35
The sleep at scale is like 5 Events per hour to 30+ Events per hour. If someone has 30 Events per hour it very easy to notice they will probably have 15 Events in 30 minutes. So you don’t have to record all night sleeping.blairandgretchen Thanks this. -
