Based on the data presented, you don't even need BiPAP, much less more pressure.
Hi! I don't know anything about the data but I can say based on symptoms I do need BIPAP. When I switched from CPAP to BIPAP I felt 10x better and had deeper more restful sleep.

Re: Help titrating BIPAP for sensitive sleeper

Ah I see; thanks! Makes sense.

Here's my sleep HQ for the higher EPAP of 7.6. Since there's still events, should I just keep cranking it up?

Re: Help titrating BIPAP for sensitive sleeper

Here's an image of the flow rate shape I'm seeing now, with this kind of two-phase inhalation. Image 12-15-25 at 8.26 PM.png Seems weird. It's like I start breathing in, then I get stuck, then it clears and I breathe in the rest of the way. Over and over and over. And it looks liek the "stuck" perio...

Re: Help titrating BIPAP for sensitive sleeper

Hi! Here's an updated SleepHQ link (most recent data is on Dec 12, so you'll need to click back a couple days):

Re: Help titrating BIPAP for sensitive sleeper

Thanks for the reply! For the hose, would the check there be a visual check? I'm not noticing a change in leaks when I switch to a new hose, though I guess that could have to do with the attachment? It feels secure but I'm not sure how to test it to know for sure. On sleep hygiene, I don't take any ...

Re: Help titrating BIPAP for sensitive sleeper

Hi, thanks so much for this! Really interesting. On the tape, it does appear to be fully secure every time I wake up, even if I let the IPAP pressure go against it. Taking the nasal pillow off, it takes a good bit of pressure blowing out to get air to pass under the tape. I use kinesiology tape whic...

Help titrating BIPAP for sensitive sleeper

Hi! I'm about 3-4 months into using BIPAP. I've seen a big improvement over CPAP, but am still needing to sleep 9-10 hours a night and to practice strict sleep hygiene in order to be functional. The machine doesn't pick up many apneas or hypopneas, but I see a lot of unregistered ones and also just ...
