Re: I too am a week in.

Thank goodness I'm not a mouth breather, it would freak me out taping my mouth shut like that. Neither am I a mouth breather, why I selected the nasal pillows, but during REM sleep atonia my jaw, and I imagine your’s too, relaxes and I blow raspberries or just let the wind howl out of my mouth. You...

Re: I too am a week in.

Three nights in a row of Best Sleep Ever. And, yes, not an epiphany so much as a dawning realization. I cured my leak rate by taping my mouth shut with duct tape. I am waiting for my Goldstream Deep Sleep CPAP accessory. It appears to be a piece of soft plastic tape that goes between lips and teeth...

Re: One week in - results

After the bathroom run a 2:30 or so, the machine ran the pressure up to 13 pretty quickly. But I don't see any event associated with the pressure increase. Why did it do that? Since the snore chart wasn't shown, and I don't see anything *much* on the FL chart, I'd have to think that there was a bat...

Re: One week in - results

hey midwest - I'm new at this as well. Sounds like you're doing great. I'm not qualified at all to interpret your chart, but I have a question that I'd ask the experts if this were my chart. After the bathroom run a 2:30 or so, the machine ran the pressure up to 13 pretty quickly. But I don't see a...

One week in - results

Alright, so I got my ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset a week ago. I chose the nasal pillows as those felt more comfortable to me while in the office as opposed to the mask. I'm also not a mouth-breather at all, so why not? While I was in the office, the sleep technician turned the machine on while it was ...

myAir is currently experiencing technical difficulties. You may experience a delay in receiving new sleep data. Thank you for your patience.


The above is at the top of the MyAir website.
Yep, called that one. Probably some db issue or something.

Re: Sleepyhead Import

Confirming. The data on my card stays on the card after import into Sleepyhead. * Edit: I writeblock the card before inserting it into the reader for import into Sleephead. Windows operating systems sometimes have a nasty habit of adding some system files to what it views as an external drive for re...

Re: No Data Transmission

I'm in the exact same boat. No data transmission since 8AM on July 2nd. I did the requisite checking on my machine and everything is normal, airplane mode is off, machine showing bars, I even pulled the plug and waiting about 10 minutes to plug it back in. No dice. I'm guessing this is a problem on ...

Re: Central Apnea - Newly Diagnosed

Thank you all for the kind welcome and the wealth of information thus far. I have an update. I spoke with my personal physician yesterday (who, unbeknownst to me, was classically trained in sleep disorders before moving into general practice). It was a fruitful discussion, and she requested copies o...

Re: Central Apnea - Newly Diagnosed

Thanks Pugsy. I'm not prone to "freak outs", so maybe that was too strong of a word. Let's call it "concerned". Anyway, I've been reading some first hand experiences of people with CSA, and even though I have been diagnosed with it, mine is apparently very mild (10.9 AHI) Some of the terrifying thin...

Newly Diagnosed? (One year update!)

Hi all - I just received a diagnosis from my neurologist after having a sleep study done. Apparently, I have central sleep apnea, meaning it's non-obstructive, but neurological. I guess the part of my brain that controls respiration / muscle contractions doesn't work so well. My AHI was 10.9, which ...
