Abstract
A patient, previously diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea and treated with continuous positive airway pressure, was seen for her yearly routine follow-up. A CPAP compliance report of the previous year revealed a periodic usage with almost stable monthly fluctuation between proper and poor adherence. The patient declared compliant usage when sleeping. The patients sleep habits, such as usual bedtime and start of CPAP treatment, had not changed during the monthly variations. What disorder can be explanatory for this CPAP compliance pattern?
