Thanks, robysue1.
Perhaps shifting my bedtime to be a little bit earlier is not a bad idea. With improved sleep quality I might have the energy to just get out of bed early and get a routine going.
I will keep the IPAP pressure steady at 13 this week and check back in next weekend.

Re: OSCAR data check, UARS?
Many thanks for the SleepHQ link. After browsing your charts, I agree 100% with robysue1's thoughtful analysis. I want to underscore her observation that you can try lowering your minimum pressure. I'd suggest dropping it by one every 3-4 nights until you start seeing bothersome obstructive events ...

Re: OSCAR data check, UARS?
And worth adding: There is a difference between feeling sleepy and feeling fatigued/tired . Ideally you want to feel like you're getting very sleepy close to bedtime. Yes, that's a good note. I wake up tired, but not sleepy. Actually the rare night where I get a decent sleep is one where I wake up ...

Re: OSCAR data check, UARS?
Here's my analysis of this night's worth of data. Note: I've only included screen shots when there's something that I want to talk about at some length. Thanks! Worth noting that your SleepHQ data ends at about 2:48 AM. So it's also worth asking: What did you do after you turned the machine off aro...

Re: OSCAR data check, UARS?
My symptoms are waking up tired I learned from this forum not to rate your sleep upon waking up. Judge it near bedtime. "Was I energetic today? Did I have excess sleepiness? (Some sleepiness is normal, especially after lunch.) Near bedtime, am I fatigued, but not stressed?" That's helpful! I'll try...

Re: OSCAR data check, UARS?
There is nothing in this overview that screams "FIX ME! by changing the settings on the Autoset!" Yes, there is some evidence of arousals and there are at least two or three periods of what looks to be pretty restless sleep. It looks like it took you 30-40 minutes to fall into a decent sleep. There...

Re: OSCAR data check, UARS?
First of all thanks to everyone for these incredibly thoughtful replies. I'm very grateful and I feel it gives me a new perspective and a lot of insight. So how bad is the aerophagia at the pressure you are currently using? At 16, with EPR 3, I was waking up quite bloated. I dialed it back a bit las...

Re: OSCAR data check, UARS?
Thanks for helping Miss Emerita! I have uploaded my data to sleephq: https://sleephq.com/public/teams/share_links/31b22795-11f1-4b9e-ae4b-57029cf97500 I think generally at lower pressures I have more flow limitations, but at higher pressures I get aerophagia and it becomes too uncomfortable. Perhaps...

OSCAR data check, UARS?
Hi all, I've been browsing the helpful posts here for a while and have learned a great deal from all of you about how to interpret my data with Oscar. I have been diagnosed with OSA with an AHI of around 12. I've had a few sleep studies done and this was a pretty consistent result. My symptoms are w...
