Re: Newbie Sleepyhead report feedback please!

Hello all! Thought I would post an update. Since I last posted a few years ago I switched to APAP and the airfit p10. I think the mask was an improvement. I also bought the bleeps but haven't tried them yet. My sleep has improved a lot since last posting, but it's inconsistent. If I'm under 1.0 comb...

Re: Newbie Sleepyhead report feedback please!

Thanks again Pugsy. Should be ok from here. Fingers crossed. As for the leaks, I don't usually feel the leaks. I sleep on my side, so have the pillow against part of the mask and if I'm moving I wouldn't be surprised if that caused leaks. But I can't tell. I bought the chiro water pillow that has be...

Re: Newbie Sleepyhead report feedback please!

Am I correct in assuming that we all sleep on our sides to minimize these events?

Re: Newbie Sleepyhead report feedback please!

Thanks Pugsy. Other than the leaks, or lack of a leak problem, does the rest look ok? Would you recommend increasing the pressure to bring down the hypopneas? These are good scores for me in my two year history of using the machine so I feel pretty good about it. And I know you all believe scores ar...

Re: Newbie Sleepyhead report feedback please!

Hello all. Posting some notes here and an updated chart. First, yes, I know I know the surgery doesn't solve the main problem in the back of the throat. But my rationale was that if I improved the nasal airflow for the cpap then I would need less pressure. Maybe not. Still, it has improved my daytim...

Re: Newbie Sleepyhead report feedback please!

I should add, I definitely feel like I'm getting more air through my nose after the surgery. So it should take less pressure, unless it's really the throat that needs to be maintained open. But maybe the increased airflow is messing with me. Not sure if that makes sense, but trying to intuit what is...

Re: Newbie Sleepyhead report feedback please!

Sorry for the delay and lack of an update. I have somewhat of an excuse which is I had surgery to fix my deviated septum. So it's taken a while to recover and to be able to implement the suggestions, which I appreciated. I've also had time to read the basics and I'm finding those useful as well, so ...

Newbie Sleepyhead report feedback please!

Hello all I've been on CPAP for almost two years but only discovered the forum and sleepyhead a couple months ago. I have had pretty good results in terms of what I feel, but would love to get some general feedback from the community on what my data shows and would like to know what I can improve to...
