Re: What to eat befor a sleep study

That's right. Also avoid cofeine's drinks starting afternoon prior to sleep study.

Re: Anyone carried out tests between Auto and fixed pressures?

All of us that are on APAP machines know that the technology does work... In fact, that is not the case. There are plenty of user reports here on CPAPtalk, going back over several years, from users who find that APAP is not a sustaintable technology for their OSA treatment, while CPAP is. Cheers, B...

Re: Adjusting to CPAP

I am sleeping with CPAP machine for more than 4 years now. Remember that CPAP equipment needs to be adjusted to it.
It took couple of months for me to get comfortable with CPAP mask and the rest of the settings. I am also periodically trying different masks, looking even for better comfort.

Re: new CPAP user

I think you are sleeping with your mouth open. Try to use tape.
