Bathroom visits - pressure changes

[snoozysue]

Hi
Sometimes (not often) I need to go for a quick bathroom trip at night and I turn the machine (Dreamstation Auto) off.
I tend to find that some events occur when I go back to sleep as the machine can't get to the required pressure quickly enough.
If I was to leave the machine running would I find that the pressure has increased greatly when I return.
I don't want this to happen as I already average about 15. The machine is set from 8-18.

Thanks

no.

8 is too low. Raise it.

Is the ramp feature starting you at a lower pressure? If so, disable it.

Thank you for the suggestions.
I don't use the ramp and my low setting is fine for almost all days except the once or twice a month when I wake and get up.
Just curious how long the pressure would remain constant if I disconnect from the machine.

It can tell you're not breathing, it'll either shut off after a minute (if you've got 'auto off' turned off, or it'll just record a black BND (Breathing Not Detected) spot on the data.

If you are averaging 15, then 8 is too low. It will take too much time to go from 8 to 15.

Perhaps if you post the graphs from a typical night, we can help you find a better minimum pressure that will work every night, including those with a bathroom break.
