Re: How often do you check your sleep data

I check the display on the cpap every morning when I get up. Then I turn off the machine til the following night (switch on the outlet surge protector). I do have the software and reader for the machine as well, and I download that onto my computer about once a week. It is nice to review sleep revie...

Re: Naps and Cpaps

WheneverI get some sleep, either nighttime sleep or Sunday afternoon naps, I always put on the cpap. At first it was a pain to do so for a nap but now it's part of the routine of getting some quality sleep! I have just put on the 1,000 hour mark on my machine and have had it since early June of this...

Why so many apneas? Results

http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt360/rowekl/sleep.jpg I need some advise from you all. Why do I have so many apneas? Should I increase my pressure (from 9). My leak rate has been very good lately. I feel very rested in the mornings but just wondering. I'm kinda new at reading my data... Don't r...

Re: POLL: How Long on xPAP Therapy? Compliant?

Started my CPAP life on June 5 of this year and have not missed a night ( or my naps) using my machine. I can not believe how much different my sleep is compared to the previous years of not having one. My wife also loves the snoreless nights too!

Questions using Resscan 3.7

Just a quick question about the results shown on Resscan 3.7 Looking at the detailed graph that shows events (Apnea - in red, Hypopnea - in blue) the Apnea event is a red line with a number in a box above the line. What does that number indicate? Such as "12" or "10" "16" and so on. I just got my so...

Re: Another newbie-sore nose, questions, rants

I had the same problem with the sores but they went away after the first week. Maybe my skin had to adjust? I also think that right after waking up that the machine seems to be giving hardly any pressure, but just as you, have I have full pressure as needed (9). I think that your breathing after a l...

Re: Anyone have an S8 Escape series II?

I got the Escape ll 2 weeks ago. The machine did nicely for therapy but the data it stored was basically showing how many times it was used and for how long. After reading some posts on this site, I exchanged my Escape ll for the Elite ll. This machine is just like the Escape ll for therapy but hold...
