This is why you have a doctor set it at the proper level and you do not monkey with it!
Unfortunately, the majority of doctors set the machines at dafault...4/20.
You get a sleep study, find out what the right pressure setting is, and make sure the doctor knows that and sets it properly. if he isn't doing his job, you fire him and find a better one. You have to take charge of your own health care.
This site is about self help, why are you here spouting the 'party line'?
As to your 'sleep study' fantasy:
They may be "The GOLD Standard", but they are, in many ways, woefully inadequate if you think about it.
You're in an artificial environment, all wired up and less comfortable than normal.
It's *one night* and likely only part of that night. reading any titration report, you'll see that "oh, your good pressure was 12cm, you slept for 45 minutes at that pressure!"
It's a simple fact that sleep varies from night to night, you'll have better and worse days with the same exact settings. Yet the "gold standard" is a small number of minutes tested on one night.... a brief photograph taken during the marathon run that is your sleep.
It's not surprising that sleep studies are sometimes quite wrong, what's surprising is that they're ever right!
