Simple Sugar consumption and sleep apnea events
Posted on 1/28/23 at 2:41 pm

Took simple sugars down to near zero for last 30-days.
I use machine for sleep apnea. The goal number of "events" per hour (number of closed air passages the machine confronts) is less than 5.
I have experienced significant uptick in events:
With simple sugars, I am less than 5 events per hour consistently.
Without sugars, my events have more than doubled and consistently - closer to 12 per hour.
Reduction in simple sugars is the only change.
I have done zero research on this yet. My practical conclusion is that I am more relaxed with less simple sugars, resulting in significantly more events per hour.
Anyone experience this? Seeking insights for action. Much appreciated.

I don’t know how to take a pic because my sleep is worth a chit right now. Can’t think straight. But have not missed a workout!!!

What are events as they relate to sleep apnea? My interpretation of your post is that less simple sugars was bad. But I don’t know if more events are worse than less.

Events are when the air passageway closes, disrupting sleep. The machine records these nightly.
Nil simple sugars has more than doubled these events per hour. Have had Similar results in past when rid of simple sugars.
Great gym results costing me good quality sleep. Seeking any insights from others who may have knowledge or experience

I have heard people recommend to not eat close to bedtime, and it lessens apnea during sleep.
Most of the time I hear people say that a better diet (less sugar) is better for sleep. Here is an article mentioning some studies showing this: Diet changes improve sleep apnea even without weight loss.

I’m a Registered respiratory Therapist and Registered Polysomnographer ( sleep technician) I’ve been doing sleep studies for 31 years. I really don’t see how sugar would affect your breathing one way or another. Too much sugar especially close to bed time may affect your ability to fall asleep. What Cpap pressure are you on and when was your last sleep study? Have you lost or gained weight? This just my observation regarding your breathing issues.

Conclusion, elimination of simple sugars resulted in lost weight impacting my Exhale pressure.
By lowering bipap exhale pressure and made it adjustable…did the trick. Central apnea was the issue, presumably triggered by too high exhale pressure while losing weight.
