Re: SleepyHead 0.9 beta sneak preview..

Looks great, Mark. I'm brand new to all this. Only been using my machine and SleepyHead software for 5 days now. If I may ask (question is not about this beta version, which looks great, but rather about v0.8., in the "Daily" view, in the "Details" tab, the orange tab for AHI shows 6.73, whereas jus...
