Got my report today. Here goes: In 406 minutes, 42 episodes of apnea and 287 episodes of hypopnea. AI=8.3, AHI= 64.9 and SaO2 nadir was 75%. REM AHI was 51.9 episodes per hour. RDI was 72.63.

I was diagnosed back in October with sleep apnea. I ended up with the M series plus and the Hybrid mask. So far I have only used the machine 7-8 times and it always ends up the same way – I lay in bed awake until 4-5am then take the mask off in frustration and fall right to sleep. The next day I can...
