I used to sleep throughout the night every night, I now wake up 2-3 times that I remember. I'm usually awake only long enough to remember that I awoke.

I was diagnosed with OA back in May and given the usual brick. I was able to upgrade to an S9 Autoset in June. Initially it was set up in straight CPAP mode of 10cm.
