The machine knows when you're awake or asleep, so it shouldn't work. Or at least, both the PB 420 series and the REMstar classic series do. I don't know if all machines can differentiate or not.

Never tried it, but now that you suggest it... Sounds good to me!

Over the last week I've had all kinds of wierd stuff going on but unfortunately on those nights the machine didn't record over time because it was at 1 pressure (min/max set to the same). I woke up with the mask on my cheek instead of over my mouth/nose. The next night it was above my lip instead of between lower lip and chin. etc. It would have been interesting to see how those events were recorded! FL, LL, A/H???

Maybe I'll try those tonite now that I have my pressure set for 9/10... as well as the fake snores and apnea events

I'm no engineer, but I am a geek

I do the same things, playing with the machine.

I am not an engineer, but I play one at work.
