Re: CPAP wakes me up multiple times a night

On paper you're having great results with your current settings, and I wouldn't recommend changing them. I suspect you're just one of those people who needs a minimum of 8 hours per night. It is normal to wake up several times a night. For example, many people wake up briefly after a period of REM ...

Re: CPAP constantly waking me up at night

Sleep maintenance insomnia...trouble staying asleep, waking repeatedly for no known reason, or too early and not ...

Re: CPAP constantly waking me up at night

Those leaks could be mouth leaks but they could also simply be mask movement leaks. The machine doesn't have any way to know or show mouth vs movement leak. To the machine a leak is a leak no matter where it comes from. Now some people find that even small leaks from any source will cause wake ups....

Re: CPAP constantly waking me up at night

Why is your max pressure so low? Why couldn't you have mouth leaks - when you're asleep you wouldn't be aware of them. I never noticed that's why, but it makes sense I may not be realizing! What would be your suggestion? I am a stomach/side sleeper and both chin straps and full face masks seem daun...

CPAP constantly waking me up at night

Hi, I've been trying to sleep with CPAP for 5 months without much luck. Currently using the Resmed P10 mask since I feel it's the most comfortable! I am using the Resmed Airsense 10 Auto with a 7-8 pressure, EPR at and humidifer at 2. The problem is that it keeps waking me up at night, I am attachin...

The thing that is weird to me, is that I wake up more often with CPAP that without,
Did you have a sleep study? What was your AHI that night?
15 AHI, only!
Only?

15 AHI means you woke up on average every four minutes.
Well I've seen people here with way more! hahaha Any advice??

Re: Cannot sleep with cpap after 5 months

Gosh yes, you would probably feel more comfortable if you raised you minimum to 7 so you could consistently take advantage of your EPR of 3. Do you know why your pressure range is so narrow? If it's important to your sleep to have a narrow range, you might reset the maximum to 8. Is the P10 still c...

Re: Cannot sleep with cpap after 5 months

Do you take any medications of any kind? If so, what? Any other physical or mental health issues going on? When you wake up .....any idea why? Not taking any kind of meditation. I just randomly wake up, lots of times I feel like the mask is impeding my breaking and I just remove it... Other times I...

Re: Cannot sleep with cpap after 5 months

I'm no great reader of charts, and your AHI is actually pretty great, but - Min 5 Max 7.2? No wonder you can't breathe. That would suffocate a chihuahua. Open that sucker up a bit - try min 7 max 20. I feel like there is too much air with anything over 7, and my 98% pressure was 5, but I will try a...

Hi guys, So I have been trying to sleep with CPAP for 5 months now. I started with a Resmed Airsense 10 Auto and a Resmed F30 full face mask. The first week was great with many +4h night, but then it started bothering me a lot and I was removing it during my sleep. Then I switched to the Resmed P10 ...
