Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE

What I have,
  • ResMed N10 Nasal Pillow (Small?)

    Resmed P10 (Medium & Large Pillows)

    Ultra Mirage Medium (Shallow)
All barely used (3 days each). They don't work for me. I'm looking for a FFM that will work for someone that has a low bridge.

Re: [Self Diagnosis] Interpreting SH Data

Did you know it's normal to wake after REM stage is over ...normally we just roll over and go back to sleep and don't remember it but sometimes we are awake long enough to remember it? Did you know that we can dream in any sleep stage...doesn't have to be REM or deep sleep? Most people think that w...

Re: [Self Diagnosis] Interpreting SH Data

I see the results from last night in terms of the report and numbers. I don't see any report on how you slept or feel today....for me that's just as important as the numbers. FWIW...based on what you see from last night....I see no need to increase the minimum. A lot of the "movement" you are seein...

Re: [Self Diagnosis] Interpreting SH Data

Thanks everyone, Update, I tried the P10 mask for two days with a cervical collar and found that it leaked fairly often. Tried and tested all three sizes (S, M, and L). Most likely as I'm relaxing and my mouth opens slightly causing leaks. I'm just going to accept that I'm a mouth breather. I also d...

Re: [Self Diagnosis] Interpreting SH Data

I've thought about buying one as I heard that it helps with leaks (to some extent) and is better on the skin compared to the silicone. Going to see if I can adapt for a few weeks to the F20 without the liner and then consider it an option at a later time. There's also the Air Fit F20. Same mask, wi...

Re: [Self Diagnosis] Interpreting SH Data

Thanks guys/gals. I'll keep pushing to make this work. I know that things like this take time. You guys/gals have been more helpful than most of my doctors and I'm very grateful for that. Some of the centrals/CAs might be the leaks. I do notice that sometimes I will exhale and won't inhale for a few...

Re: [Self Diagnosis] Interpreting SH Data

Second night with F20. Keep getting leaks around the bridge and chin area depending on how I move my face during the night. Tried adjusting the tightness and position of the mask but to no avail.

I do notice that my breathing starts to get shallow and shorter as I get more relaxed.

Re: [Self Diagnosis] Interpreting SH Data

Here is a graph of my first night with the F20 Mask. I'm a side sleeper and the mask started to leak a few times during the night. It was fairly tight against my face too. Going to have to adjust it a bit. For now, I'm going keep using the F20 Mask and see if I adapt to it over time. Should I raise ...

Re: [Self Diagnosis] Interpreting SH Data

Update, So I had two nights that went horrible. On one of the nights, I just couldn't sleep with this mask on my face. Anxiety was through the roof and the thought of working the next day without sleep didn't help. After about roughly two hours, I finally fell asleep and woke up feeling really crapp...

Re: [Self Diagnosis] Interpreting SH Data

You're right. The mask is definitely the hardest part so far. And as you've stated, my primary goal at the moment is to get a good sleep and in due time I'll hopefully find the break that I've been searching for a very long time. I'll check those videos out as soon as possible. Lastly, I'll post mor...

Re: [Self Diagnosis] Interpreting SH Data

Thank you for the quick reply! And sorry about the graphs. I'll make sure to correct them in the future. I started with the standard 4-20 range but it quickly became apparent that I was struggling to breathe at 4cm. I tested out breathing through various minimum pressures and found 8cm to be the mos...

[Self Diagnosis] Interpreting SH Data

Hello, This is my first post so please bare with me. A bit of background about me, I'm 31 years of age, male, not overweight, and I've had some sleep issues for nearly a decade. I've spent thousands of dollars on supplements, exercised, etc but nothing would or could solve my fatigue. I've been to m...
