Day 30 of 30. The last daily post. Let me say what’s true before anything else: weight loss has failed, and CPAP revival has won. Those are the two headlines of this 30-day health experiment, and pretending otherwise would betray the entire premise of the series. This 30 day health experiment has taught me valuable…
Day 29 of 30. The penultimate post. Tomorrow is Day 30. After that, a final review. Today is the second-to-last data drop, and it has a small drama tucked inside it: my CPAP mask fell off while I slept. I went to bed late. I don’t remember taking the mask off. I woke at 4:49am…
The cpap blood test hematocrit results came back this evening, and they contain the most clinically significant number of the entire twenty-eight-day experiment. Hematocrit: 0.447. Normal range: 0.395–0.505. Comfortably mid-range, unremarkable, a green indicator on the lab dashboard. Twelve months ago, the same test returned 0.511 — above the upper limit of normal, flagged as…
The data for high blood pressure after a weekend of wine and good food has never been more clearly drawn in this experiment than it is this morning. Three readings between 09:16 and 09:46: 126/87, 119/88, 120/87. Every diastolic reading flagged HIGH. The average sits at 122/87 with a pulse of 74 — the highest…
There is a number on today’s CPAP dashboard that is worth more than anything the scales have to say. Nine hours and fifty-one minutes. Score: 100 out of 100. Mask-off events: one. That single removal was the morning wake-up. For the first time in the entire experiment — and for the first time since the…
The weight gain after exercise is one of the most psychologically brutal patterns in any fitness experiment, and today it arrived right on schedule. Yesterday afternoon, after the longest ride of 2026, the Eufy read 99.50 kg and the Hume Pod read 99.4 kg. Both scales below 100 kg. Both confirming the immediate power of…
The cpap compliance streak hit fourteen consecutive nights this morning, marked by a green badge that appeared on the CPAP app at 07:16 with confetti and a congratulations message. Fourteen nights without missing a single session — a run that began on Day 9 and has now covered two full weeks of unbroken therapy, including…
Sometimes the most interesting number in the data is the one you almost miss because everything else about the day feels unremarkable. Today’s cpap ahi score is 0.9 events per hour. Zero point nine. That is the lowest AHI reading of the entire twenty-two-day experiment — fewer than one apnea event per hour across a…
If Week 1 was the foundation and Week 2 was the stress test, this health tracking experiment week 3 was the proof of resilience. Six days that included the highest CPAP usage of the series, the lowest body fat mass, a seven-night compliance streak, the first sub-99 kg reading on either scale, a conference in…
The relationship between heart rate variability and sleep apnea is one of the quieter stories in this experiment, running underneath the daily drama of fluctuating weight and blood pressure like a slow tide that only becomes visible when you step back far enough to see the direction. Today, on Day 21, that tide surged. The…
