Re: Quick Question about SleepyHead and leaks
Thank you for the advice. I think I'll just buy a chinstrap and see if it plugs the leaks and lowers my AHI. No way to know unless I try.

Hi everyone, I'm still pretty new to cpap. I've been using Sleepyhead to track my stats over night. I've noticed that sometimes my leak rate will make a big jump but the pressure won't really change.
