Sleepyhead Reports Print Scrunched Up

I have Sleepyhead 0.9.3.0 AND 0.9.8.1 on Win XP. 9.3 prints reports well but 9.8 scrunches them up into the upper left corner. I like the statistics page of 9.8 to print but don't need the graphs. BTW, I only have both because 9.8 wouldn't import my old data for multiple machines. Is this a fixable ...

Re: Power outage - Backup did not work

My old setup included a F&P HC150 humidifier run off a separate a/c cord. It worked well but my new setup included the humidifier and I misplaced my old F&P hotplate. Thing is with a battery unit the old one would stop the humidifier but the battery would keep the APAP going. I got a good start-er-u...

Re: Which Pulse Oxymeter Should I Buy?

I bought the CMS50f recording wrist oxymeter which records 1 night and uploads to sleepyhead newer versions. I like the software that comes with it to look at oxy results alone. When uploaded to Sleepyhead it creates synced graphs along with the others so you can see what happened in sync. That said...

Where to buy hose cover and skul cap?

Years ago there was a person here that made and sold hose covers and simple caps to wear under the head straps. I searched but given the single forum (I know, it's for the best!) got 50k returns on +hose +cover. Anybody here to point the way?

Re: Batttery pack ? for dummies, like me

I resemble the "Tim Taylor" TV guy in that I overbuild everything often making it worse. I planned to construct a terrific battery in a box with all the neat stuff but didn't get around to it. To cover it in the meantime I got a jumper/power kit like the Sears unit in prior posts and haven't looked ...

Re: Single Pressure setting vs Range

Some folks get hung up on the % numbers and you have to keep in mind that those numbers include all below them. A long time ago I did the math and learned I sent 85% of the night below 7 and 5% at 11 so my 90% was 11. I stopped worrying about it. Now with Sleepyhead I look at the graphs and leak rat...

Re: Can my new mask be the cause of my awful migraine?

Haven't been near a nasal mask for years however I have discovered my Forma Full Face bottom strap causes pressure on the back of my neck that can cause headaches. Just something to consider.

Re: SleepyHead 0.9.8-1 Testing Builds

Thanks, Palerider. I had the wrong CMS50f selected. It read the device well but the screen went wide again and I haven't imported past data. I saw the data in the statistics and wonder if there will be a graph for it sometime. Again, I'm not dying here so not a big deal. I like playing with stuff an...

Re: SleepyHead 0.9.8-1 Testing Builds

I first start the pgm and the overview and statistics windows fit correctly in full size. However Daily and Overview stretch the window to the right past the viewing area. I tried manipulating the right border but it refuses to budge. Still having a few problems with this on WinXP with smaller reso...

Re: Calculating Minimum Pressure Settings

I'm pretty much a contrarian so may not hold for all. My stomach valve (LES) is pretty much shot so I was literally pumped up until I fiddled with my low setting. By trying different low settings over time I learned anything over 7.5 was adding to my problem. I set my low at 6.0 for comfort and pres...

Mine is an 6-10 yr old Gateway 486 with built in NVidia video on an Envision 17" LED (NOT widescreen). Screen set at 1024 X 768. I first start the pgm and the overview and statistics windows fit correctly in full size. However Daily and Overview stretch the window to the right past the viewing area....

Re: more sleepyhead oximeter support

Just for clarity, will the new SH version import the .SpO2 files from SpO2Assistant?
Also, some have suggested using the serial stream into SH, however it wants the CMS50F to start the streaming process for which it has no option.

How Slow of Pulse is Too Slow?

Last night was my first night of using my new CMS50F oximeter. Oxi remained above the alarm set at 85 however my pulse continually set off alarms until I set it down to 25. My normal waking rate is 60. So if the oxi is okay will the slow flow hurt me?
