OK, used Windows Snip tool to capture and print out the report. Thanks.

Re: How to print Sleepyhead report?

Don't know what could be wrong. This is a standard printer that I've been using for many years. All other programs print to it fine. Any suggestions about what to change in the setup?

Oh, I'm running Windows 7 Pro in 64-bit mode.

How to print Sleepyhead report?

I'm seeing my sleep doctor today, and would like to print out my "CPAP Statistics" Sleepyhead report. I go to "/File /Print Report" and it prints, but it's a mess: the table lines are in the wrong places, the data goes off the end of the page, etc. It's not readable at all. I'm using Sleepyhead v0.9...

Re: Can you try CPAP without becoming dependent on it?

Yes, Latinist has it right -- I'm trying to find out if there are any medical consequences to using CPAP for a while and then stopping, not asking about psychological dependence. (Sorry I wasn't clearer.) And Nick Danger (long live Firesign Theater!) is right that I'm hoping to tell my client that t...

Can you try CPAP without becoming dependent on it?

I've been singing the praises of CPAP to some of my clients (I'm a relationship counselor and sex therapist), and one person said he was concerned that, if he tried CPAP, he'd have to continue using it, even if he hated it. This sounds dubious to me, but I thought I'd check it out. If someone uses C...

Re: SleepyHead 0.9.6 Pre-Release thread..

I'm running 0.9.6 on under Windows 7 Pro on a quad-core i7-4770 @ 3.40GHz and 32 GB RAM. As you might expect, it flies. It has been stable, with no crashes.

Where should I send possible bugs I've noticed (and feature requests, if they're desired)? Thanks!

Re: Neck muscles ache from CPAP?

Last night, I tried a bunch of pillows we had lying around the house, picked one that was fatter and firmer, and felt much more supported during the night. I think my neck muscles are a bit less sore today -- we'll see how things go over the next couple of days. Thanks for the suggestions!

Re: Neck muscles ache from CPAP?

My "hose-management system" is limited to placing the hose on my bed, near my pillow, where the connection (between the heated hose and the hose to my mask) seems to have enough friction to keep the hose from moving and putting extra weight on me. When I turn over in the night (which I do a lot), I ...

Neck muscles ache from CPAP?

After a couple of weeks on CPAP, I'm noticing that I have sore muscles on both sides of the back of my neck (sternocleidomastoid and/or splenius capitis, if I'm reading this anatomical chart correctly: http://www.innerbody.com/image_musbov/musc16.html ). I've had soreness / stiffness on the right si...

Re: OK to turn off A-Flex?

Wow, so many responses so quickly! I *really* appreciate it.

I'm glad to hear that A-Flex is optional. The air inrush at 6.00 pops my ears, and I can breathe fine at 4.00, so I'll keep ramping for comfort's sake.

OK to turn off A-Flex?

I started CPAP two weeks ago. The first night, I felt like I was suffocating -- very scary. I called my compliance folks the next day. (Actually, I called them right then, at 2:00 in the morning, but the call-back was from an oxygen specialist who said the compliance people only worked M-F, 9-5.) I ...

Re: Can't import data from SleepyHead v0.9.5-Testing

I downloaded SleepyHead 0.9.6 to a brand new Windows 7 Pro system with 32 GB RAM and had no crashes. So, it's definitely related to my old computer, or its software. I'm a bit surprised, because I do run lots of programs on the old computer, without much trouble. Oh, well. This is motivating me to t...

Re: Can't import data from SleepyHead v0.9.5-Testing

Casey, Thanks for the ideas. I have tried running SH with no other big processes, and my old machine (which was a powerhouse when I bought it 10 years ago) does have 2 gig of RAM. No luck. So I suspect there's something buggy with SH. I know about XP (though I don't think the situation is that awful...

Re: Can't import data from SleepyHead v0.9.5-Testing

0.9.6 finds my SD card!!! Thanks so much. It's a thrill to see my sleep data in living color. My next challenge is to see if I can get 0.9.6 to function for more than a minute or two. In particular, it crashes each time I move from one "daily" report to another day. My two best guesses: - 0.9.6 is s...

Can't import data from SleepyHead v0.9.5-Testing

I'm brand new to the CPAP world, and just found out about this forum and the SleepyHead software, which I'm dying to try out. I've downloaded what I think is the latest version (SleepyHead v0.9.5-Testing) and it seems to run fine. (LOVE the sheep!) I took the SD card out of my CPAP machine and put i...
