I had an upper front tooth knocked out 35 years ago. I've had a temporary bridge in for the last 20 years that was failing, so to replace it I'm getting a bone graft and implant. The bone graft was done today and obviously I would like it to be successful. Doing it one time in my life is enough. I u...

Moving SleepyHead between Retina display and non retina display monitors will screw up the graph plots. This is a Qt bug that is supposed to have been fixed in Qt5.3 (but this version was built with Qt5.2.1, because I only just got Qt5.3 build environment installed, and I haven't tested it well eno...

My personal opinion is to go with a minimum of 5 and no ramp until you are comfortable with the machine. The top end probably won't really matter that much. Once you are sleeping well with it you can look at the data and raise the minimum to optimize your therapy. You can do this at a pace that is c...

The pillows don't go in your nose. They rest on the outside. Once you have the the machine turned on you can give them a little pull away from your nostrils and they will inflate and seal pretty well. Yes, you may need to go up a size. You aren't the first person to stick them all the way in your no...

I think your biggest hurdle right now is learning to fall asleep with the mask on. Right now you put on the mask every night and suffer for 90 minutes. As you lie there, all you are thinking is that you are never going to be able to use this stupid machine. After 90 minutes you tell yourself "I trie...

I've washed all the parts several times with no problems. I put them in the top rack and we don't use the "sanitize" option.

And yes, the collar slips and has to be slid up the bottom to fit.

I switched from the Wisp to the Nuance Pro in September of last year. I switched to the Airfit P10 in January. The wisp leaked in my eyes and at the corners, seemed to require lots of adjustments, and pressed on my upper lip in a way I didn't like. I would go for the Airfit P10. The Nuance's gel pad...

I found a difference going from small to medium with the nuance and medium to large with the airfit. The holes are bigger and it feels "softer" and less jet like.

Having said that, I just switched back to the medium on the airfit and am finding the fit a bit more comfortable than the large.

If he's not using the large pillows he could try the next size up. I went from small to medium with the nuance pro, and then to large with the P10. The bigger holes made a difference in comfort for me.

As a Canadian, I can tell you that it's this way with many many things.

There are lots of things that you find on the internet for better prices than here, but cannot be shipped to Canada.

Not only do I feel better on CPAP...

My bed is no longer full of unexplained boogers

You cannot get an AutoSet for $500 out of pocket. In order to get ADP funding, the DME has to complete this form: http://www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/mbs/ssb/forms/ssbforms.nsf/GetFileAttach/014-4793-67E~5/$File/4793-67E.pdf The requirements for getting an APAP are specific. If you don't meet the require...

Canada...they do things a little differently but they could supply an APAP if they just would...same as DMEs here in the US... Set it to CPAP mode and they have satisfied the RX requirements. At least Canadians don't have to go to war to get an Elite instead of the Escape...though I have had some p...

I was prescribed a CPAP machine, but I wanted to purchase an APAP machine so that I could self titrate myself periodically to check for any changes in my condition. I expected ADP to pay 75% of the cost of a CPAP machine and I would gladly pay all remaining costs out of my own pocket. The DME said ...

You could try running it from the command line. Open up terminal, and at the prompt enter open /Applications/SleepyHead.app See what happens. The other thing you can do is look at your console messages and see if it tells you anything. You can see them by opening Utilities/Console. If you are lucky,...
