Den and others, The only rest I got was when I was asleep with my head in my wife's lap, without the mask on. Having the mask on has been quite honestly one of the worst experiences of my life with little or no sleep for days at a time. Last night was about 40 minutes of sleep on the machine and by ...

For further clarification, I slept VERY restlessly last night and not so good on the other two nights. As to CSA, I do not use drugs, have no evidence or history of brain damage and just got a clean bill of health from a pulomonologist. I do live at 9000 feet but have lived at this altitude for seve...

I set it at 11 and had a really bad night. I am really in need of help here.

OkyDoky, Wulfman, thanks to you both for the interest and feedback. One thing you both have right is this isn't productive at what I'm doing. Sadly for me, I'm not one of those great cases where the first night is a miracle. Welcome to my world... I'm leaning hard toward getting that sleep study pus...

I have no idea why I'm waking up. Could be a number of things, but I'm thinking it's related to the discomfort of the mask. I tried a nasal only version from PR and really had an issue with just wearing it. In fact my question at this point: does this data conclude I have OSA? I would guess yes base...

I managed to get access to the charts on Sleepyhead.





Any thoughts?

Thanks West, My Dr and I are assuming this is OSA rather than CSA based on my physiology alone. (Short, stout (borderline obsese) with a thick neck and non-priminant chin.) I have had a septal reconstruction with cut of the uvula for the anatomy although 10 years ago when I had this surgery, I was t...

Thanks, D.H., jtravel and bon jour, I gave my primary laptop computer to my mother for Christmas, since I didn't use it and she needed one and now have an IPad and an HP laptop that doesn't want to play nice. I'll have to get Sleepyhead on my work computer and post the graphs from there. From what I...

Thanks all for the info posted. It's nice to see at the beginning that there are others who have been through this. It's very easy to come home with a machine and feel pretty alone in this. My situation is I effectively self diagnosed based on years of bad sleep. I did see a pulmonologist a few days...
