Fitbit helped me diagnose hypnic headaches

[lian]

I have sleep apnea and use a CPAPS machine and have done now for 19 years.  I had hoped / expected that my morning headaches would be eliminated after I settled with the machine.  For the most part my headaches were controlled, however i still wake with a headache quite often.  It was only when I went for my latest check up at the sleep clinic that we decided to check out my fitbit app.  It showed that i had had over 40 mins of REM sleep the night before compared to my usual 10 - 15 mins and I had a headache.  Over the next month I checked my REM sleep and headaches and there is a direct correlation between the two.  I now have a diagnosis for my headaches - hypnic headaches.  Who knew you could allergic to sleep!  These headaches have not had a lot of research and with other forms of migraine there is no real cure.  Good to know why I get them though, I now need to ensure I don't have too much sleep, if I onky sleep when I'm genuinely tired I don't have too much REM sleep.

Thank you Fitbit for this amazingly accurate change to your old sleep app.

@lian Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm very glad to hear that Fitbit has helped you with this.

This is the purpose of the new updates, to help users the more Fitbit can. How are you right now?

Hopefully, these improvements that Fitbit is doing will help other users as well. Also, the new ones that will come, I guess! The future is friendly!

I'm doing well now thanks, there is no cure other don't have too much sleep because that can be as bad as not enough!

My consultant was extremely impressed, shame you can't work with the NHS and use it as a diagnostic tool too.

Keep up the excellent work, I wouldn't be without mine and havent been for many years now.
