sleepyhead combining dates

Several times I have noticed that Sleepyhead will show multiple (2) dates combined under 1 dates data. Is this a bug or does it have something to do with the times?

Here is an example:
notice both 7/9 & 7/10 data appear on left of screen

Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP

Do you have more nights with ugly clusters like the night where the pressure just barely kissed 15 or more nights like the other night where it didn't go up at all really? We go back to the basics...the 2 most common causes of those little clusters you see when the pressure went to barely 15 are su...

Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP

As to why they didn't try more than 12...maybe they ran out of time...maybe they didn't see a need if everything was within "acceptable" numbers already...maybe you didn't happen to have one of these "episodes be it REM or supine or a combination" times for them to even see what might be needed. He...

Re: Dream Station Auto CPAP Phone In?

You can force the transmission and once you do that it will continue to transmit at about the same time. Currently I have mine set to transmit at about 7am so I can see the data on DreamMapper first thing in the morning. . Jimsp1, I'm not referring to Bluetooth, but the add on modem that fits in th...

Dream Station Auto CPAP Phone In?

I didn't realize till I talked with my DME "therapist" about compliance reporting that my machine has a modem in it and has phone in capability. Just curious if anyone knows what data is reported and if they can change settings that way? I have looked on Internet and Philips Resperonics site and not...

Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP

Pugsy, Thanks for all the info! I sleep on my left side so Sat. night I added a pillow laying same direction as my back to see if it would eliminate some of the snores from laying on my back. Not sure it works as I can still somewhat lie on my back, maybe need something else. I think I'll leave pres...

Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP

Pugsy, No CFLEX is off although the Cflex setting is 2. I changed none of this when I went to APAP. You are correct about SD card, I did have a problem.
So should I just continue with the settings for a time? I don't see that much of a change if any comparing to old charts.

Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP

So do you think 12.5 and 13.5 max. would be a place to start or maybe higher? Yeah...I don't think that much more will be needed but actually what I would do is leave the minimum at 12 and let the max be 13.5. See what happens. You don't appear to need more than 12 for the bulk of the night so I wo...

Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP

That works. As you can easily see there are some FLs going on. Not a huge number but when looked at in conjunction with the RERAs...might point to possibility of some low level arousals going on that you may or may not remember. It's not screaming out "fix me" though...but it points to maybe someth...

Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP

Do you know how to resize the graphs so you can look at the events graph without it being squished? Just hover the mouse cursor on the bottom line of the graph until you see a little short double line....when you do see that short double line then click and drag the mouse cursor down and the graph ...

Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP

You have cut off the events graph on the top and included the respiration and snore graphs on the bottom and the events graph is more important than the snore graph (we can see the snores on the events graph) and more important than the respiration rate graph which really has no value to speak of. ...

Re: First Sleep Dr. visit after starting CPAP

Yeah, my DME originally tried to follow the Medicare list. I ended up with a lot of backup nasal pillows, cpap filters, and so on. It wasn't too long before I told them to ask me what they should send and not just send the maximum that Medicare will reimburse. Once I have a couple of backups, I'd r...
