Should I still be having "events"?

Post by Dead » Thu Feb 04, 2016 2:29 pm

Had 4.6 events per hour last night. Shouldn't they be going away?

Everyone has some events. It virtually impossible to have no events every night. Anything under 5 is considered treated, but, most people can reduce their nightly events to 1 or 2 by monitoring their events on the Sleepyhead software. Often the events are CAs (clear airway events) which can be ignored if there are only a few.

Cool thanks, I am usually under 5, so I guess I am good.

The most important is how you feel you are sleeping. Get Sleepyhead and monitor your therapy. This link will help you. https://sleep.tnet.com/resources/sleepyhead

Is this better than the "My Air" dashboard that comes with my resmed device?

myair is crap, and tells you nothing useful beyond what's on the screen of your device.

as to having events, nothing is perfect, certainly not cpap, but by downloading your data into sleepyhead, you can see what happened, when it happened, and many times get a good idea what needs to be done to make things better.

I'm not happy with an ahi of 5, that's still being prodded out of sleep on average, every 12 minutes.... all night long.

read the first post in the announcements section at the top of the forum main page.

Much, much better. You will be amazed at all the information on your SD card.
And in case you don't have it yet here is the Clinical manual for your machine. It gives you the information on all the settings, what they mean and how to change them if needed and when you get ready. https://sleep.tnet.com/home/files/resme ... -guide.pdf
