You need to set the clock to the correct time....be aware that da...

I find myself in a bit of a sleep mystery and I could really use your collective wisdom. My original prescription was 6-12, but due to aerophagia, my respiratory therapist lowered it to 6-9 (EPR turned on 3). However, for the past few days, I've set my max pressure back to 12 just to gather some dat...

I can see where having only one nostril working freely could definitely mess with sleep in general when we can't supplement the air movement with mouth breathing.

I don't think so but I do have a polysomnography coming up !

Absolutely, I've consulted my doctor, which is why I'm here. Most doctors focus solely on AHI, so I've decided to take matters into my own hands. You're right; I've observed the pattern of waking up and removing my mask during REM, and it's beyond frustrating! I do have a polysomnography scheduled, ...
