How many hours of CPAP use counts as compliant?

Most insurance companies and the VA define compliance as using your CPAP at least 4 hours per night on at least 70% of nights in a 30-day period. Tracking nightly helps you stay above the threshold.

What is a good AHI number?

An AHI under 5 is considered normal. With effective CPAP treatment, most people can get their AHI below 5. If your AHI stays elevated despite treatment, your provider may need to adjust your settings.

Can I use this for a VA sleep apnea claim?

Yes. A consistent log of symptoms, CPAP usage, and daytime impact supports your claim by providing documented evidence over time.

Should I track sleep apnea even if I do not use a CPAP?

Absolutely. Tracking symptoms like daytime sleepiness, gasping awake, and morning headaches helps your provider assess severity and treatment options even before you start CPAP.

Common tracking mistakes to avoid

Only logging on bad days

If you only log when symptoms are severe, you lose your baseline. Log every episode including mild ones. The contrast is what reveals patterns.

Not adding context

A severity score without context tells you little. The food you ate, how you slept, your stress level. These are what connect the dots between cause and effect.

Stopping too early

Patterns take time to emerge. The first 2 weeks are baseline building. Weeks 3 to 8 are where connections appear. Stopping at day 14 means you never see the picture.
