Sleepyhead software help needed

Post by Corky1121 » Tue Jul 28, 2015 7:16 am

I have Lenovo and I downloaded the software. There is no icon, so I do search and then open the sleepyhead OpenGL file.

Why do my charts lose data and get green lines all over them?

Why is there a smiley face under calendar?

Where can I find definitions of data, ie flow limitation, RERA,etc.?

Do I need to know all this data, or is the AHI all I need to know, because Sleepmapper is easiest to use. I don't have to take the SD card out each day.

For definitions of terms...in the provider manual for your machine or here
http://sleepyhead.sourceforge.net/wiki/ ... p/Glossary

Lenovo....that's Windows OS computer isn't it? Which Windows version? SleepyHead works fine on Windows except some really old versions.
Which SleepyHead version did you get? Have you tried maybe using the broken GL exe file to open?
You do know you can create an icon on your desktop, start menu or taskbar?

Up to you how much effort you want to put into the data thing and if your AHI is less than 5.0 and leaks are well controlled and you are sleeping great and feeling great then there is no real need to worry about digging deeper into the data beyond what SleepMapper shows.....but if you are having problems and what help here...we have to know things to be able to help. We can't help much without knowing the details.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

Thank you. Ill check that link. For now I am not having any issues other than the new FFM I tried put my AHI over 6. I ordered a smaller replacement. If that doesn't work, I will be back asking how to increase pressure.

I will try the broken version tomorrow.

I am not that computer literate anymore I used to be a Mac technician thirty years ago, LOL. Now I have lyme, fibro and brain fog so forgive me ifI repeat anything.
