Leak rate: mask or mask and mouth?
Leak rate: mask or mask and mouth?
I see that I had a pretty big leak incident last night (leak rate in Sleepyhead). I was wondering, is that just mask, or could that have been air out my open mouth? Is there any way to know? Thanks!

Most likely guess - try taping for 1-2 nites and see what software reports.

I did tape and the tape had come loose in one spot, possibly from the leak. Just no clue right now.

See here page 57.
