Im going to list THEORETICAL AND REASEARCH HELPING to increasing your AHI Index score on a polysomnography.
<<AFTER YOU ARE DONE READING THIS, READ THE END OF THE THREAD FOR INFO AND SCORING.>>
Spoiler: Back Sleeping
This is the first and most recommended method, also impossible to get caught by your provider; since sleeping on your back is already a chronic sleep apnea sufferers' profile for sleep. <<ALSO ATTEMPT TO MAKE YOUR MANDIBLE PUSHED BACK OR TUCKED TO INDUCE MOUTHBREATHING>>
Spoiler: Lidocaine and Topical Numbing Agents
This method is possibly detectable/noticeable if being tested by an experienced polysomnographic tester. It is recommended to micro dose the Lidocaine or other topical numbing agents with doses of about <1mg.
Spoiler: Sleep Deprivation
This is also another strongly reccomended method, as they cant just deny a tired person jfl
can possibly increase AHI by 7 points if done correctly
Spoiler: Brain Stem Depressants (GHB)
This is the least recommended, but most potent and efficient. Could possibly put you in hypoxic state if done too strong, but it is highly unlikely you will get hurt if you're being monitored by people who are responsible for checking your sleep. Micro dosing is recommended, of about 2.75g (Incrementally higher than therapeutic, medical reasons.) <<ALCOHOL IS ALSO A POSSIBLE OPTION, BUT IS NOT RECCOMENDED, AS IT CAN CAUSE A WIDE MARGIN FOR DIFFERENCE IN AHI GRAPHS.
Spoiler: Inducing Nasal Congestion to Inherently Induce Mouth-Breathing
Strongly recommended, and would inherently contribute to your AHI Index about 5-6 points if induced properly, and paired with several other methods.
Now that we have covered the methods, I will now go over some proper notes before I conclude this thread.
1. Understanding the AHI Index
AHI Scoring
Normal: <5/hr
Mild OSA: 5–14/hr
Moderate OSA: 15–29/hr
Severe OSA: ≥30/hr
2. Effects on AHI through pharmacological and/or systemic manipulation
Induced sleep deprivation
– Can raise AHI by 10–15/hr
– May shift normal → mild or mild → moderate
Back sleeping (supine)
– Often doubles baseline AHI
– Mild → moderate or moderate → severe
Chin tuck
– Adds 5–10/hr
– Can move mild → moderate
Brainstem depressants
– Raises AHI 5–15/hr
– Mild → moderate or moderate → severe
Induced nasal congestion
– Raises AHI 3–7/hr
– Usually not enough to change category alone
Topical numbing agents
– Small, short-lived increase (1–5/hr)
– Rarely changes severity class
3. Most efficient methods of pairing
Most effective (hardest to distinguish from natural variation)
Sleep deprivation (REM rebound)
Back sleeping (supine)
Chin tuck (neck flexion)
+ Induced nasal congestion
Moderately effective
Brainstem depressants (alcohol, sedatives, GHB, etc.)
Topical numbing agents
Least effective
Equipment tampering (cannula, oximetry, don't even try this jfl, youll get ur sleep study cancelled
Exaggerated symptom reporting
Concluding notes
Keep in mind that this is not guaranteed to work, and the possibility of you getting caught still exists (exponentially low, basically ~<3%)
Now its really just a matter of scoring high enough with your AHI test. You can try these methods yourself at home before trying them at an actual sleep study clinic; and see which ones work the best accordingly.
Make sure to put on a good front to a certain group of people (use context clues now, its a separate group from the polysomnographic doctors) about TMJ, trouble chewing, breathing, etc.
Try jutting your mandible back minorly to appear recessed/more recessed (if your reading this, you're probably recessed jfl), speak with an ever so slightly lisp and try to correct yourself a few times on occasion, complain about chronic jaw pain, facia system issues (facial muscles, typically strained from improper skeletal to muscular tension loads)
If all goes well, you may be able to get surgical compensation, IN THEORY
