how would less epap deliver a smoother curve?
Less resistance to breath out against? The bottom of the curve is expiration.

Have you noticed a difference in day time symptoms?
Yes, but my improvements have been really gradual, and get reflected in things like waking up less and sleeping longer.
I was watching again this video for another reason, but think this ties back to this discussion. If I understand Krakow correctly, the squiggly line on the CPAP fragment I posted is evidence of expiratory intolerance.
If you mean this:

Look up 'ballistocardiographic"

That's what I had originally thought. But why did I have that on CPAP, but not on the blievel?

Because of the biggest variable. You.

Most people who see it, see it sometimes, not all the time.

Count the pressure flutters, are they consistent with a pulse rate?

When you hear hoofbeats... Or in this case, heartbeats...
