....I'm still not getting detail data.

I'm at a loss. I haven't changed anything I am aware of. Any ideas? Is there a setting somewhere, or a knob I could have banged into?

Re: Kate's Therapy

Hello all - My data card is suddenly not recording detailed data. I have checked that it is not locked. I assume I must have done something at the end of August when I last looked at the card, but I don't know what. I have sessions to download, but nothing shows up in Oscar, and only summary data in...

Re: what keeps the airway open on expiration?

Some thoughts. 1) I play brass instruments. I have spent years training my exhalation to be controlled in both speed and intensity. So that I can play my instrument. Breathing in needs to be swift, and breathing out needs to be significantly slower. 2) In Yoga there is this thing called "square brea...

And I said that my English is bad just in case since English is not my first language It looks as if all those events at the start are before you fall asleep properly. Once you are asleep, you...
