Anxious about QuietAir vent on ResMed F30

Hi friends, I started using yesterday the ResMed F30 mask that has the QuietAir vent. I had the previous one with a more noisy vent. Seems to be the same one as this (maybe it's the new standard vent): https://www.resmed.com/us/en/consumer/products/masks/airfit-20-series/airfit-f20.html Anyway, I wo...

Re: Advice on treatment (and Dreem/FitBit comment)

Thank you all. That's very helpful -- and a lot to digest. I will look into these adjustments.

Hi everyone, A bit of background to start: After years of terrible sleep, I finally got a health care specialist that explained to me that I probably had sleep apnea.
