Re: Autism and new to CPAP
You have a lot of issues to address.

Members could then look at your reports and rule out any CPAP-related issues. ...

Re: [Health] Low AHI but poor sleep. Thinking about Supplementation

Here is one good link: https://sdlab.fas.harvard.edu/files/sdlab/files/sleephygienecheckliststriveweekly.pdf That is a good list. I would add, "Check your medications". Many ...

Re: [Health] Low AHI but poor sleep. Thinking about Supplementation
Magnesium Worthless. You already get magnesium in food. If you have a poor diet, read which foods are highest in magnesium. what other supplementation (Melatonin, Vitamin B6, etc. None of them work. Some have bad unpleasant side effects. There is no magic pill. Study good sleep hygiene. Practice it.

Re: My Cpap machine quit
1. Did it get wet from the humidifier tank when you dropped it?
2. BTW, bottled water will not damage the machine. It might leave some mineral deposits in the humidifier tank. These can be removed with a dilute solution of vinegar or lemon juice.

Re: New to CPAP but feeling much worse instead of better
Forget OSCAR for the time being. Get a free account at SleepHQ.com, upload your data and post the link in this thread. Any 32GB or smaller SD card will work for data recording. Don't worry about the AIs at this point. You were probably wakeful when they occurred. In this case, they mean nothing. BTW...

Few people do well below 7.0. my usual Airsense 11 Autoset (and was with the Airsense 10, too). I have also had an Airmini for a couple of ...

Re: Airmini not working as well (as it did, or as my Airsense )
One thing I've noticed is that I occasionally wake myself up with a snore as I'm falling asleep with the Airmini. What are the settings on each machine? Please include the EPR and ramp settings. I asked my sleep doc about it and he didn't have much to suggest except, "Maybe you should look into Ins...

It's best to stay on the trail and out of the weeds. Especially if you tend to obsess over weeds.
