Thank you again. I looked at my 12 months statistics: average min P = 12.2 95 % P = 15.5 which implies that I should have set my min P = Epap close to 12, according to the experts of the Forum. But I had set it at 10 So It seems that I have had Min P = min Epap too low ! Anyway, with the VCOM, I wil...

Great thank you. I will therefore try to move from:(min Pressure 12 + Full face Mask+ Tape) to : (VCOM + min Pressure 13 (or 14) +pillow mask + Tape ?). The major benefit I expect is the stop or great decrease in mouth breathing leading to the move to a pillow Mask . The condition will be that I don...

Thank you. I will try as you said and feel if it works.

Question:
Regarding the assessment of the situation: with the VCOM, what objective have you achieved?
-no mouth breathing?
-no tape?
-possibility of switching to a nasal mask ?
-better OSCAR and O2 reporting
-other?
-any negative ?

Thank you

I dream of using a nasal mask vs my full face mask. The VCOM device seems to suppress mouth breathing, which forces me to use a full face mask and put on a tape. My problem is that, with the VCOM, I feel like I'm running out of air, which suspends the experience. My question: should I increase the m...

The chinstrap I use is made by a small business on the west coast by the engineer who designed it. I have been using them close to 10 years with success. They have three styles. The only difference between them is the material used. The designer has a video right on his website about why the strap ...

Thank you
What kind of chinstrap ?

If it works, that might be a very good solution ?

Been years since I was over on PubMed reading about this stuff and I realize how much I have forgotten since being out of the throes of the movements. Just read a couple studies and already my brain hurts. Remembering when I was hungry for every bit of related info I could glean. Admittedly feeling...

OK so here are sub-cortical arousals determined by PAT: https://i.imgur.com/z7p3IK1.jpeg Although there's no EEG it's very doubtful that there are cortical arousals as breathing is quite stable. Quite interesting ! How do they get the datas about the Legs moves and what are NAF and ABD ? You are us...

Yes it is true. Sleep apneas thanks to CPAP therapy are no longer the cause of my sleep problems . PLM's are the cause. My only point with my Post was to notice the link between movement and apnea. It seems that the process is as follows: the movements (turning right left/left tight, I assume) lead ...

I agree with that. As long as the recordings are credible, the more different views we have of our night, the better it is. And to get back to my personal case,which triggered the discussion, the fact is that the movement detection seems to be OK, as the movements detected are perfectly synch with t...

To record the movement, I am using the O2 ring, which gives SPO2, Pulse rates and the Movements.
I had a recent Hospital Sleep full recording and it gave me the opportunity to check that my O2 ring Spo2 was correct.

As we can see, with each movement, there corresponds a dislocation in the flow rates, and an acceleration of the heart rate, but more interesting, often the appearance of OA/H's.

Thank you for your replies.
As I sleep on my side, I will not change any thing.

One of my friends, who according to his wife, suffered from apnea's and snoring, equipped himself with a reclining bed. According to him, the result was very convincing, in reducing both apnea's and snoring. I would be happy to know if any members of the forum have any experience on the subject, bef...
