Re: Help interpreting first Sleepyhead reports

Thanks! I go through phases where I remove mask in my sleep, but this is now infrequent with a new mask. The reason for my on / off sessions at night is young children! I'd happily sleep through the night, but someone's usually heard a noise, had a bad dream or wet the bed! I think that accounts for...

Adding images to posts

What am I missing?! I've been trying to attach screenshots to my posts and I just can't figure it out...

I've got the screenshots saved on my Mac desktop, but how do I allow you to see them?

I feel I've read my way through way to much sleepyhead info I can't do the basics now

Re: Sleepyhead interpretation

Here are a few screen shots, what is clear is the number of apnea have increased over the course I have been feeling more ill, but the last two months there is a decent job. Having said all that they are still AHI < 1. I've confised myself with all the sleepyhead data and instructions, but I'm hopin...

Help interpreting first Sleepyhead reports

Hi

Software and data loaded

But for life of me I can't find the key! What does clear airway mean or the purple ad blue bars mean in the summary?

Re: Sleep Apnea and an Autoimmune disease

Yes what you say about a was is true, that could happen however i think it takes a while for Most people to have this issue. It would be restricting breathing and movement 24/7. As mentioned that's not me. I'm off to shops today and I'll get an SD card reader. How many months of data will ResMed S9 ...

Re: cleaning hoses and tanks

What is the easiest way to clean it? And where do you hang to dry if not the bathroom?

Re: Sleep Apnea and an Autoimmune disease

I've got Ankylosing Spondyalitis. It isn't restricting my chest movements / breathing. I was more trying to work out if I'm going to be more tired than someone else with the condition as I have SA too. I'm treated for SA but I wasn't sure if you ever feel as refreshed on CPAP as normal sleeping folk...

Re: Sleep Apnea and an Autoimmune disease

It's an S9 Autoset breathe easy. I'm in Australia... I got the prescription from the sleep clinic at the hospital and I bought the machine from a pharmacy (only some offer this service). How do I load my SD card into my computer and make it write protected. I have a Mac Mini with no SD card reader...

Re: Sleep Apnea and an Autoimmune disease

Thanks for quick reply. I've got ResMed S9 and N10 nasal mask. I did have the swift fx but I akways took it off in my sleep!

Does ResMed have their own software or is that just for pharmacy use?

Re: Sleep Apnea and an Autoimmune disease

Is Sleepyhead an app to review your data? I just take it to the pharmacy and they give me a report, but it would be great to do myself. I do check the duration and ahi each morning. Sometimes not the best news straight up!!

Hi I'm shattered, so I guess I'm in the right place I must have had sleep apnea from a very young age, but it took getting to extreme tiredness and not knowing how I even got to the doctors to get diagnosed at 34. I've now had a CPAP for 18 months and I think it's the bees knees As patients go I'm e...
