Thank you!

I did the quick smart code. Says in the last 30 days (Haven't had it that long as of yet). % of days at least 4 hours 96% Day Count 24 Days at least 4 hours 24 AHI - 6.0 High Leak Flow Time 1% NRI 2.00 EPI 2 Not really sure what Non-Responsive Event Index means.. (NRI) of 2. or What Exhale Puff Inde...

With my mask, being new to me as well.. I sometimes can't find the clip to fasten the mask at night. So I leave it on and take the hose part off. But I've noticed I don't get up to go the bathroom much. My doctor said that would be normal, but sometimes my body finds reasons to wake up to get oxygen...

HAHA! Well it's been almost 4 weeks now of using the CPAP. I've lost 5lbs. I haven't changed anything else. I have a few friends who I haven't seen in since I've used it and they'd said my face looks thinner. Which I have noticed as well as my wife. Last few nights the mask has been leaking aroud m...

I wish I could get 11 hours of sleep! Those stats looks really good. I'm still new to the CPAP thing. I am working on my 4th week. I've noticed it's been a little harder to get up in the mornings for some reason, at least for me after the 2nd week, but on the 4th week here I am doing better. I also ...

Well,

Last night I went to bed about 11pm. I woke up at 2 for about 20 mins cause of my daughter. Then went back to bed till 7am..

Today does seem like it's a COME ON MONDAY moment.

I'll have to check the machine.. but not sure if it's going to tell me much.

Is it normal to feel tired in the AM after a few weeks? I've been on CPAP now for about 3-4 weeks and I've noticed it's somewhat hard to wake up in the morning. I find myself laying in bed thinking I want more sleep.. I'm tired.. Throughout the day I feel much better though. I don't feel like I'm de...

Ok cool, thank you. I cleaned the stuff and I did wake up with it at full pressure (13). So I bet that is what it is. I was hoping I didn't have to go get another mask. I like this one. I also have found that I am sleeping more on my back then what I normally have done. Of course, sleeping on my bac...

I noticed that my mask (see sig) had a pretty good amount of air flow coming from those little tiny vents on the front by the nose bridge. Enough that I can feel it on my hands when my head is on my laying around my elbow area. So a good foot or so away. It's a pretty good stream of air.. I never no...

Thanks everyone. Great tips. I do like I can come here and post my feelings and within mins normally get some resonses. Feels good. I've been on it for about a week now. So, I have noticed I am not as tired in the morning. I also notice that come 2-3pm, I am not dead tired. Ready to pass out at work...

When I go to sleep at night, I feel distant to things around me as I feel I am hearing myself breath more than anything. I feel that maybe I am not hearing other things in the house.. I feel isolated to my area.. almost anxiety.. but not that bad.. I feel if my wife gets up to tend to our 4 year old...

high flow leak time (>95L/Min)
1% of total time in 5 days

Ok I was able to get my smart code down. I did a 7 day since I've only used if for 5 days now. What strikes me is the report. The AHI (Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI) represents the average number of apneas and hypopneas per hour for the timeframe.) Shows 8.5. Little confused by this, I mean 8.5 is bette...

My Sleep Doctor told me that he could call me and give me a key dequence of some sorts and it would give me numbers/letters on the screen that he'd be able to type into some software and give him all my sleep stats etc.. What software would this be? And since I don't have a card reader on my unit I ...
