Anyone have any tips for using a Cpap with a cold? It's kind of miserable strapping on a full face mask, though the humidifier does seem to help once I can get to sleep. Plus should I be cleaning extra? Washing all the stuff every day?

Hi all, so I'm aware of the definitions of AHI but can someone look at this latest graph and tell me what it all actually means in terms of when I'm breathing or not during sleep? I can post more info if needed. Thanks! http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah259/rjthomasbrc/ScreenShot2014-10-13at1463...

The nasal congestion is pretty consistent, but the severity of it is seasonal. Actually breathing through the machine helps it a lot because, I think, of the humidifier and the air filter. I'm definitely going to try a mask liner. Thanks for that. I have not tried another mask - actually the company...

Yes, around 6 I was up - the leaks seemed to get bad around then and they woke me up and I had trouble getting back to sleep. Beside that I feel like I wake up maybe 5 or 6 times throughout the night because I have to adjust the mask or tighten the straps. I have pretty bad allergies and sinus probl...

So yesterday, I increased the pressure to 7 - which I actually felt pretty strongly when I put on the mask - and it doesn't look like things have gotten much better. I realize it's only been one night - but here's a snap of the data. Any thoughts? Also, I'm still having huge problems with the mask l...

Thanks everyone! I'll give it a shot.

Actually, no - I did not have a full-blown sleep study. The machine was prescribed by my GP. We did a sleep study where I wore a little box on my head with tubes under my nose for two nights at home. The pressure was set by the tech who dropped off the machine who said it would be a good place to st...

Thanks! Requested graphs are below. The info on the bottom of the machine reads "REMstar Auto DOM Ref 560P. Is that the machine you're talking about? Also - I'll give the pressure change a shot. Thanks! http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah259/rjthomasbrc/ScreenShot2014-10-01at30936PM_zps81693a83.p...

Here are a few images. Let me know if you need more. I'm looking forward to your thoughts.

Hi guys - so I have Sleepyhead up and running - found the SD card behind the cellular device and have the data. I went through Pugsy's post on how to look at the data and although I now understand the data in terms of what it all means, I'm not sure I understand what it means for my quality of sleep...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the responses - here's my equipment (at least what it says on the bottom of the machine) Phillips - REMstar Auto DOM REF 560p - System One Humid - Heated tube - Mask - ResMed Quattro FX It also has a little wireless box on the back to get info out. I tried to set up Sleepyhead on...

I've been using my CPAP - Phillips Respironics, for about six months. It feels like there was a sweet spot where I got used to it after about 1.5-2 months where I slept great. Now, over the last month, it feels as if I'm backsliding. I frequently have days where I'm more and more tired and feel kind...
