Re: Please Help! Going backwards?!

Thanks for the reply. The clusters aren’t usually there. On a “good” night, all my OAs are pretty evenly spread out through the night. I was at 12 min for awhile but wasn’t getting better numbers so I came down to 11. Maybe I’ll go back up! I won’t worry too much about the CAs. I must have a small a...

Please Help! Going backwards?!

Hi everyone, I started APAP therapy on December 8. My sleep study showed very mild apnea of about 6.5 AHI on the night of my study, despite feeling really tired and run down for about a year now. I've used my Dreamstation every night since then, and was getting my AHI down to about 1.5-2 most nights...

Re: Sleepyhead Data to increase pressure

Update! I've been getting into the 1.5-1.7 AHI Range with 10.5-16.6 pressure. Was wondering if I should still bump up the minimum. I know of an uncle of my friend who has severe sleep apnea but with CPAP can get into the 0.2-0.5 AHI range, so I really want to get my AHI as low as possible! Any advi...

Re: Sleepyhead Data to increase pressure

Update...increased to 9.5-14.5 pressure (.5 increase on the minimum and maximum) and achieved my by far best night of AHI. 1.7! Super excited about this. My 90% pressure was 12.6 or something, so according to what you guys have said I could still probably use a small bump in the minimum pressure? Ma...

Re: Sleepyhead Data to increase pressure

Thanks for the input! I had another decent night at the higher minimum pressure. 2.7 AHI which is my second best night. This is excting, I may end up bumping up to 10 and see what happens! Appreciate the help!

Sleepyhead Data to increase pressure

Hi everyone, I'm on my 4th week of CPAP therapy. Trying to figure out my pressure range. Started at 7-13, then when 8-14 and last night bumped it to 9-14 and I had my best night yet. Coincidence? Would you guys mind looking at my Sleepyhead data from last night and telling me what you see? I'm tryin...

Experiment

I'm curious. Have any of you had your spouse or significant other who does NOT have OSA sleep with your CPAP one night and see what kind of results they get with AHI and so forth, whether it be through the machine stats or through Sleepyhead? I began treatment a month ago with mild AHI numbers but b...

How am I doing? Sleepyhead screenshots

Hi everyone, I started CPAP therapy 2 weeks ago. Here are some screenshots from Sleepyhead. I'm curious how you guys think I'm doing. My AHI during my one home sleep study was 6.5. I've attached screenshots of an average night (last night) and a bad night (last Friday night). Any tips, or things tha...

Re: OSA and Alcohol Intolerance/Sensitvity

Thanks for the response! I am. My AHI during my sleep study was 6.5 or so and most nights with the CPAP I'm about 4.5-6.0 so far. My worst night on the CPAP was 8.3. Leaks don't appear to be an issue at all for me, atleast from what I can tell with Sleepyhead and Dreammapper. I hope to post some Sle...

OSA and Alcohol Intolerance/Sensitvity

Hi everyone, I'm a 24 year old male recently diagnosed with mild OSA after a year of feeling run down and crummy. I started therapy two weeks ago and haven't began feeling much better yet. However, I wanted to ask if anyone else had an intolerance to alcohol when prior to being diagnosed? For me, it...
