Sleep monitoring

[Snowflake]

Hi all,

I know you probably all know this already, however, aside from these attacks getting me during the onset of REM, I am just curious about the spike in stress levels especially at 12 am. Seems weird. 

These were the last 2 nights stats. 

Also whilst melatonin is mentioned to control you from going into REM, there's mixed signals about it from what I have read. It can also send you into the "devils playground". 

Just fascinating looking at this. My awake times are when I am having the attack. 

Will continue to monitor.

It is almost spooky. I had the same attack sequence in the nights.  
I am also getting a sleep tracker. Very interesting

Yeah it is right? 

The one I'm using is an Huawei smart watch G2 paired with my old Huawei health app on the Mate 20 Pro Series. 

Seems to be doing the job. 

It's amazing that the very 1st REM onset triggers my attack which is usually 1 hour after falling asleep. Yet the following REM spikes doesn't. 

I'm just trying to get some more research done regarding the sleep aspect as well as why my subconscious stress at midnight is skyrocketing. 

Try it out brother. Let me know on your findings. 

Good luck

Was at the beach fishing on 2 occasions in the last 2 weeks. 

Whilst there, and even though it was a "Full Strawberry Moon" , I never had any shadows, or even attacks during the 7 hours I was there each time. 

Strange enough, when I got home, I suffered 7 attacks in a space of 1 and a half hours which I kept aborting. 

Basically 15 mins apart on both occasions.

Sleeps an interesting thing! Sorry if it was mentioned but how are you measuring, a smart watch or such? Good on you for tracking, super cool what tech can do. 

This article was published, I’ve only glimpsed the review but based on above you may find it interesting. Not a specific CH sleep study but CH is reviewed in the context of arousal & CGRP. It also looks at microbiome research and sleep. 

I had this set aside for this weekend to read, will come back and share further thoughts once I’ve digested it.

Thanks for sharing friend.

Will have a read. 

I'm using a smart watch in conjunction with the health app on my phone. 

I must say that it measures almost everything like sleep patterns, sp02, breathing, heart rate. All to the "T"

I had many of these things in the past, however the one I'm using now works excellent. 

It would be nice if everyone could invest in one as it will give us all a sense of tracking this beast. 

I know some are expensive and some of us can't afford it. I got one couldn't, however I saved to get this particular one and it's totally awesome. 

It is an Huawei GT2 watch and I'm using a 2014 model Huawei Mate 20 Pro with its OEM health app.

Goodluck buddy.
