I wouldn't worry about a false negative if you have even the slightest inkling your sleep isn't perfect. apparently if the at home is negative they tend to do a monitored sleep study at a clinic, which I'm grateful I avoided lol. like I need to feel as though someone is getting bored watching me and my weird little boners.
I did an at home test and did my usual routine, a little sleepy tea. I also remember having to be more deliberate when turning over at night, rather than thrashing like a maniac. so I forced myself to get comfortable & lay still. I woke up thinking I slept better / more restful than normal. the diagnostic results were like "nah, ur shit iz fukt". I think I averaged a panic-induced stir every 2-3 minutes. I had no clue how crazy it was and that's described as "moderate".
my exes and family said I snored sometimes, but it wasn't bad or scary. some sufferers don't even snore. just silently almost suffocate dozens of times per hour.
legit this is what like probably all those MFs in their 50s-60s that "died in their sleep" got got by. all those events traumatize your body/brain and they think it takes several months to unravel that.
my CPAP is like my one possession I would--without hesitation--kill or be killed to stop from being taken away.
