Snore Index

I was wondering what is considered an acceptable snore index as rated by Sleepyhead software. I'm new to CPAP but have a pretty good idea of the "ins and outs" of OSA and CPAP treatments. (stemming from tons of research from this and other forums- thanks by the way) Last night my wife said I was still snoring. I know this probably means a pressure increase is needed or maybe I'm someone who is going to snore no mater what. (my AHI is averaging 3.5) At any rate what is considerred normal as far a snore index.

BTW - Tonight I'm going to try my new nasal mask & see if that helps.

Thanks for your help.

When you look at your events graph how much time do you see clusters of snores?
All night? Short 1 hour time frame? Randomly?
I don't think there is a set "number" that points to a for sure problem with snores. I haven't seen one.
Not like there is with acceptable AHI.

I've tried a different mask and compared the readings with SleepyHead == Both about the same...

SO - - - As long as I 'm happy with the other Numbers and Feel Good . . . Just Gaaagnoor the SNORE Index???


It's Your HEALTH and At Least you are Pro-Active with IT!

Thanks guys. According to my graphs it looks like I'm snoring for the first hour or two each night with the full face mask on. I don't have the ramp or auto feature turned on, the machine starts & stops at 15cm. It might be that I start out on my back but eventually end up on my side causing less snoring. But I actually used my nasal mask last night for the first time and got some awesome results - AHI .4 (which were all clear airway apneas) & the snore index is barely there & my wife said she didn't hear any snoring so I think I will be switching to the Mirage FX for the time being.

Thanks again for your help
