Re: Help dialing in settings

Just wanna thank everyone who responded! I've switched to APAP mode, set EPR to 1 and my flow rate seems better as well as flow. I'll continue to play with EPR settings. Although sleep looks good on OSCAR, I'm still very much fatigued and struggling with extreme brain fog, maybe the problem lies els...

Re: Help dialing in settings

Damn! British citizen? Criminal to wait that long (6 mos?). You're using CPAP, not APAP, btw. Lithuanian, but yeah, that should be a criminal offense lol. For this night specifically I disabled it, thought it would reduce wakefulness, but it was to no avail. See your leak graphs? See the rising lea...

Buying a CPAP before getting a sleep study?

Hello, Just started my journey getting diagnosed, problem is I'll have to wait 6 months for a sleep study. My snoring made my friends think a bear visited our campsite, I wake up multiple times throughout the night, sometimes in a comfy pool of me own sweat. Bought a somewhat expensive pulse oximete...
