Great news! What was your leak rate and AHI?

Unless it is above 5, your AHI calculated by the machine is really not relevant. It doesn't account for when you are awake or asleep, and doesn't read your PaO2, so it can't tell if an event even counts. Ditto for leak rate. Unless it is really high (above the manufacturers threshold) or bothering you due to dry mouth/nose/face/eyes, the number is not important.

I personally can't get more than 6 1/2 -7 hours of sleep on CPAP, but I could get 9-12 before and still not have the energy I have now. I think my body thinks it is done after three sleep cycles because I get better sleep than I ever have before.
