Re: Getting More Sleep Makes Me More Tired! Anyone Else?
I am not tired during the day (or sleepy). But I do get tired/sleepy earlier in the evening. Around 9-10pm I start feeling tired/sleepy. Which, like I said, I find weird since before I was able to stay up to 1am-2am every night without feeling tired at all. I'd have to force myself to go to bed at t...

Getting More Sleep Makes Me More Tired! Anyone Else?
Before CPAP I regularly went to bed around 1-2am, and regularly woke up around 6am-7am. Now that I have been using CPAP, I am a little more aware of my sleep habits, plus I tend to get tired earlier than I used to. Nowadays I sleep around 10-12pm (mostly right in the middle at 11pm) and I get up aro...

Re: How to Troubleshoot & Improve Leak Performance?
Quick OP update. I am still mouth taping and my leak problems have improved (and some nights, completely eliminated). I still have non-mouth related leaks from the mask cushion seal getting broken, but overall I am quite happy with the general leak performance day to day (or in this case, night to n...

Cure for Snoring (Joke)
Saw this on YouTube and got a laugh out of it. Thought I would share it here.

Re: How many years does a mask last?
Oh, and regarding my mask straps, I typically use them for a year. After one year the straps have a tendency to stretch, and the Velcro doesn’t hold as well.

Re: How many years does a mask last?
I typically use my n20 nasal cushions for about 2-3 months, until I start blaming cushion age on my leak or comfort problems.
Funny thing is… the new replacement never ends up solving the problem or feeling any different.

Re: Can't use ResMed MyAir app, any suggestions
I've never bothered with the software / data side of things, but now I could really use a report on the data from my ResMed AirSense 10. Unfortunately neither of the two phones I have (Samsung Galaxy A5, Samsung Galaxy J3) is able to install the app. Any suggestions as to how to get reports (and pr...

Re: A question to those who have successfully mouthtaped
I successfully use the cover-roll tape without any issues. I use a chapstick generously before taping my mouth. I also purse my lips tightly (opposite of puckering) before applying the tape, so my lips are not touching the adhesive. In the morning, I slowly peel it off without any issues. I use the ...

Re: Take mask off in the middle of the night
Does anyone else have a problem with taking off your mask in the middle of the night? I usually wake up, think about going to the bathroom. Take off my mask and then fall asleep without getting up or putting my mask back on. Anyone else do this? If so what did you do about it? Thanks Does anyone el...

Re: Nasal Irrigation
AKA Nasal Enema! I started out using a standard neti pot, and it really made a huge difference. I am now (as others have mentioned) using the NeilMed Sinus Rinse. I have to admit that I have been "lazy" and am just using warm tap water. I'm not suggesting that anyone do the same, but that's what is ...

Re: Accidentally erasing stored data on CPAP machine
I just navigated my AirSense 11 set-up menus, and I can't see where there is an option to adjust the time.
I do see a timezone setting that I can adjust. But that is about it.
What happens to my OSCAR timestamped data with the Daylight Savings Time changeover?

Re: How to Troubleshoot & Improve Leak Performance?
Update: Mouth taping still seems to be working for me, though I am running into a mild annoyance. I notice that I wake up in the middle of the night with my air in my mouth. And because of the tape, my cheeks slightly bulge and the pressure of air in my mouth wakes me up. I naturally try to exhale t...

Re: Sleep Study - Why Only One Night of Data?
Thanks for everyone's input. I think my academic curiosity has been satisfied. Like I said, I am on CPAP/APAP therapy now, and am not bothered by anything or concerned about anything. I just had an intellectual curiosity about why sleep reports are based on a single night. And this discussion thread...

Re: Sleep Study - Why Only One Night of Data?
If a single night's worth of data is diagnostic then there is no need for further nights. Now if a single night isn't diagnostic then further detective work is needed. Good point. A single night can confirm it. Is there any chance of false positive? But a single night may not be enough to disqualif...

Re: How to Troubleshoot & Improve Leak Performance?
Just a quick update: I just had my 3rd straight night of scoring 100 on Resmed's MyAir app. Not the end-all-be-all indicator of a good night's sleep, but 100 a better indicator than a 70! On the second night of scoring 100, I woke up at 3am and couldn't fall back asleep for about an hour. Yet I was ...
