I always thought the forehead piece was geared for comfort for those that require higher end pressures for their therapy. That's just a guess, but I figure it would give a little leverage to keep the chin region tighter and less prone to leaks maybe.

Isn't the APAP minimum pressure already at 12 though, or did they change it initially and want to readjust? Yep..you are right and I am colored red. My bad. I didn't enlarge to read the numbers well enough and somewhere 7 cm minimum got stuck in my mind probably from what he said he used first. Nev...

I am super new to this as well, but try sneaking your low end pressure above 12 and your higher pressure to like 16 or 17. Actually going from a 7 minimum to above 12 minimum is probably way overkill in terms of pressures Isn't the APAP minimum pressure already at 12 though, or did they change it i...

I was told by a veteran to pin flow rate, pressure, events, and leak rate to my sleepyhead data. It makes it easier for others to observe. I recently moved my lower end pressure up. It doesn't appear that your low end pressure actually reached 11 anyways, and its lowest point was 12. I am super new ...

I didn't use an alarm this morning. I went to bed at 10:30, woke at 3:30, then I fell asleep until 6ish, which is my normal schedule during the work week. Sat I woke up without grogginess, and I had plenty of energy despite an average night of sleep. Today was weird though, I slept pretty darn good;...

Hey all, My sleep has vastly improved, but I want to know if my flow rate graph looks normal, or if I should adjust my higher end pressure. I feel pretty good, and last night I only woke up once in the middle of the night. My AHI always doubles or triples when I sleep well (deeply), and I realize th...

I have the same unit as you. I love my machine... finally. I had depression from the realization of having to use the machine at 28, and having to alter my life around the therapy. My sleep was crap, I felt like crap, and I didn't sleep that much. I hated going to work so tired to come home to "rest...

Many people find it hard to breath with only 4 cm pressure. Normal recommendation is to set your low pressure to 6 or 7. After a few nights at this pressure, it is easy to determine if you need higher pressure or not. I agree with Okie bipap. I had my range from 5-10, and upon a recommendation, I u...

Julie...Congratulations on your promotion.... [/quote]

I wanted to acknowledge Julie because in my experience, she has always taken the time to post something regardless of how trivial. As a newbie myself, I appreciated the support, and her suggestions really helped me. Don't be jelly

It will take time. For me, it took about 2 months to get to a point that I would consider "normal" if there is such a thing. Expect to see some sort of improvement after 3-4 weeks. I caught my apnea early before it became a serious health issue, so I am fortunate for my situation. Others I have talk...

Where are the instructions for posting pictures haha

Nvm! It was easy to use Imgur. Here are the graphs:

Hey all, I have pretty good energy and don't feel all that tired during the day, but man I keep on waking up! I looked at my graphs and couldn't find anything crazy last week. Which graphs should I post from sleepyhead for folks to look at? My doc just said," Well that's a tough one, let's talk abou...

Not making any suggestions here, but perhaps you could talk to a therapist. Depression, Anxiety, and chronic stress are all potential reasons for continuing to feel sleepy. I also read about something called "true residual sleepiness." Here is an article: http://www.enttoday.org/article/residual-sle...

I don't like that word. It was a political party in Germany (National Socialist German Workers' Party)........sort of like the Democrats....... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party See if you can find another word to replace it. https://www.quora.com/In-the-phrase-grammar-Nazi-what-words-could-...

Yes, it was obvious that was ALL.

I can't believe trolls exist on a CPAP forum. What a sad day
