Arousals occur when stimulus passes both the brainstem and thalamo-cortical gate to awaken the cortex - stimulus that only makes it to the brainstem is called an "autonomic arousal" and only involves cardiorespiratory activation without cortex activation/EEG arousal. Arousals can contribute to cortisol secretion.

I think I've said this before but... I love you :)
This is very interesting, I've asked my contacts at "3rd opinion institution" about this.
There is a chance that I have a significant RDI though. My first sleep study had defective EEG electrodes, so no EEG was recorded. My second sleep study was without a previous "PAP cooling off period" which, according to the 3rd opinion folks, messed up the sleep study. They recommend 2 weeks no BiPAP before the sleep study. This is why I'm postponing my 3rd sleep study for a while, I can't afford 2 weeks downtime right now. I'm going to be absolutely wrecked during this time, maybe I'll write a diary for you peeps :P

You're right, I found this at https://marilab.it/che-cose-la-polisonnografia-e-come-funziona/
【2019 Upgrade】Soft Silicone Mouth Type Anti Snoring Tongue Device Clear Silicone Tongue Tube, Anti-Snoring Sleep Aid Device
The above is the name of the product I used. Unfortunately, They are not available now on amazon.
This one looks similar but I am not sure if it is of the same size. I once bought a second one after I found out that the first one worked well, but the second one I got was of a smaller size. Just so you know, they may be different. Good luck.
this one or anyone that looks similar to this:

Hope you feel better soon.
No problem. This is one that will work:

The idea is that you extend the lower section (jaw) a few mm out which also pulls your tongue out. This one is a bit bulky but you do get used to it.
A slimmer version is called SnoreRX (I don't think you can buy it on Amazon) but it is more expensive.
Tape has also worked amazingly well for me in the past few days. I had been using a mouthguard, but clearly that wasn't doing its job. I'm now dreaming again and I haven't for some time.
Right now I'm using these, but I think you can buy very inexpensive tape:
I had been about to start CPAP but now I think I don't need it.
> will test for UARS during the LAB sleep test
Not always. RERA scoring is optional. If you tell us what metropolitan area you're closest to users here could recommend you to sleep specialists that treat/diagnose UARS.
> SNAP at home sleep diagnostics
The only home sleep study worth doing is the watchpat one as its the only that can score RERAs.
> If not where do most people end up getting a diagnosis for UARS
In 2005 UARS was merged into OSA, so technically for medical/insurance purposes you'll be receiving a "sleep apnea" diagnosis. Whether or not someone will have OSA/UARS will depend on which hypopnea criteria is used, whether or not RERAs are scored, etc.
I tried the following and had really good results. It was a cheap test to see whether or not I got a meaningful change before I invested in a professional one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BTFB6TK
I got a similar thing with CPAP. I was prescribed a CPAP but still feel like garbage on it, and I've tried both a bilevel and ASV and feel better but not great.
