Varied events hour to hour, night to night have infinite possibilities to explain them.... how you sleep, congestion, position, humidity, restless legs, opening one's mouth, leaky mask.... are just a few to list.

To use the forum features fully, you need to register and log in. Once you do that, your username will be in blue and be clickable. Until you do that, you are very limited in what communication can transpire between you and other members.


Once you are registered and logged in, please take a minute to go up to the User Control Panel (under search, top left) and then to your Profile and then Edit Equipment. Choose your gear from the pull down menus and the choose to show those in TEXT, not pictures. This will put your equipment at the bottom of every post your write automatically, like mine below. Those with the same equipment can help you better than having to constantly ask you what you use!

Mostly the same things that cause event variation when you are not using CPAP.
