I seldom browse into the Off Topic Forum, but I happened to today and this thread caught my eye near the top.

First off, thanks for sharing your story Blaster86. Hope your recovery has been going well these past few months.

Browsed through some of the giant apnea/CPAP thread, but there's lot there! Figured since this one was newest, just stick with it. I've had a CPAP for about 3 years, but I won't go into detail about my own experience as it's similar to a few other posters. If anyone has questions, I'm more than willing to answer tho.

There's been something I've been wondering tho and I don't think I saw anyone mention it. Does anyone have a CPAP and also sleep with a smartwatch with sleep/heart tracking on? I've had a really simple smartwatch for about a year. It's probably not super sensitive cause it's not high-end, but it definitely picks up movements in my heart rate when I'm awake. I haven't seen any spikes in my heart rate via the watch when I don't sleep with the CPAP. Also my sleep tracking data isn't significantly different with or without CPAP. If I recall correctly, my apnea rate was about 20-30/hour, so not severe as others here, but also not insignificant.

So I'm wondering if anyone here has compared their watch tracking data when sleeping with and without their CPAP.
