My hose has been waking me up with noises. I know that sounds odd. I air it out every day so the moisture leaves.
Anybody have this problem? I FINALLY got comfortable wearing my mask everynight. What's with tho hose??

Re: Don't want to use my cpap anymore
My sleep study results were inconclusive because I only slept 3 broken hours (nerves) They put me on an adjusted pressure range because they did not know which pressure I would need. I do wake up when my pressure changes. According to my data I use 10 and have 1 or less AHIs each night I have yet to...

Don't want to use my cpap anymore
Before cpap I slept soundly 8-9 hours woke up refreshed, full of energy. Now with cpap I get 4-5 hours of sleep if I am lucky, no energy, tired during the day. What is wrong with this picture?? It is the opposite of what it should be.
On it for a month now. Anybody else have this problem?

Falling asleep - new challenge
Does anyone have trouble falling asleep with headgear on? It takes me 1 1/2 -2 hours. Do you take a sleeping aide? Also in my deepest sleep when my auto cpap ramps up past 9, my minimum toward 12, my maximum, it automatically wakes me up. This is usually around 3:30 am. What good is it if I can't st...

Re: 2nd night much better with apap
Slept 7 hours last night with apap!! It helped to change my A flex setting - so much easier to exhale. Also set humidifier to highest setting - so much better! However, info stated I had 6.9 AHI. Is that per hour or for the whole night? I am so glad to have found this forum and that people suggested...

Re: 1st night with Apap - HELP!
Thank you! I corrected my equipment. It was a 560 and a white hose for my humidifier.
I also found my A-Flex and set it to a 3. I guess I should turn on my mask off alert?
I am so tired so I think I should sleep through anything tonight! Thanks for all your help.

Re: 1st night with Apap - HELP!
I added my equipment to my profile. I start out at 4 and ramp up to 9. After that if I need more it can ramp up to 12. It takes 45 minutes to ramp from 4 to 9 allowing me time to fall asleep. Of course, I could not sleep and was concentrating on my breathing. It then ramped up to 10 and I found it v...
