Your sleep continuity sucks. I mean REALLY sucks. Posting a reply again with a quote from your post in case that was needed for you to notice it Nocibur. Definitely interested in any of your suggestions. Ok Nocibur, I tried some of your suggestions to see how it would effect the relatively small nu...

Ok Nocibur, I tried some of your suggestions to see how it would effect the relatively small number of sharp exhales in my breathing flow chart that sometimes lead to a wakeup. I'm curious your thoughts. Again, this is on an Aircurve 11 VAuto, PS 4.2 over 4.2-8.4, FFM, inhale "trigger" set to very h...

Thanks Nocibur. Will reply back when I've had a chance to experiment.

Got it. You think I should try experimenting with the exhale sensitivity as a first line of attack. I'm still planning on doing that when I have a break in my schedule and I can afford a nose dive in my sleep if that happens.

Nocibur,

You said my "sleep continuity sucks." Are you referring to breathing disruptions in my flow chart when I'm asleep or something else? Any recommendations to improve this?

Interesting, your link seems to be a match. Thank you very much for that. However, based on the illustration of the airway at your link and the statement it makes that "Oral mask pressure therapy bypasses the soft palate altogether," it would seem that a full face mask (which I always use) without m...

Changed from AirSense 11 AutoSet to AirCurve 11 VAuto on 21 Jan. No meds or substances. Yea, SleepHQ seems to be on the fritz.

I should have added that the few OAs, Hs, and CAs in my data are all associated with movement verified by a time synched Wellue ring, so 4.2 EPAP appears to be good enough to eliminate all real OAs and Hs, and "very high" inhale trigger eliminated all real CAs that I was previously having a few of (...

I believe Nocibur simply means that if you post some data on Sleep HQ, he and other long term posters can look at your data... Thanks robysue1; that didn't even occur to me! Below is a link to my SleepHQ data. Nocibur, or anyone else, I appreciate any thoughts you might have on my sleep data. https...

I've used SleepHQ before and I didn't notice any function that would tell you if a particular breathing pattern causes an arousal.

You got one now.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm in the middle of fine tuning some other stuff currently, but will probably try as you suggested at some point. What do you mean by "load up a night with that into SleepHQ to try to figure out if it really causes arousals"? I've used SleepHQ before and I didn't notice a...

So which way would you adjust the exhale sensitivity (right now set at medium)? Make it lower sensitivity so there will be less tendency for the sharp downward exhale (so "low" or "very low" setting)?

No setting called "exhalation" on my AirCurve 11. Perhaps "Cycle" is the same thing (which I have left at the preset setting of medium): "Cycle– This is the sensitivity setting that tells the device to switch back from IPAP to EPAP on exhalation. It is adjustable from Very Low to Very High and comes...

no, Exhalation, should be right after Ti Min. There's no setting called "exhalation" (The user flags shown in the screenshot are set to detect a 20% or greater flow restriction for 8 or more seconds since my AHI is always low; not sure how useful this experimental function is). Screenshot 2025-03-1...
