Starting with A-CPAP tonight

Hang in there! It's a journey for sure!

Since mask pressure and pressure graphs essentially report the same thing you can turn off the mask pressure graph and the leak graph will come into the viewing area.
You can also resize each graph just a little so that all of the leak graph shows..just take your mouse cursor and hover it over the bottom line of each graph till you see a little short double line...then click and drag to resize. SleepyHead will (most of the time ) remember the sizing changes.

Congratulations on getting past the first night hurdles.
It will get better but it will take some time and with your history of insomnia in general it may take a little more time.
It all depends on how much of your insomnia was related to the OSA events and how much is plain old insomnia that the machine can't fix.

I don't need to see the leak graph...just mentioning it for further posting.
I can tell by the leak numbers in the statistics that leaks were well controlled....the big max leak number was likely mask removal while the machine was running. No big deal as it is easily seen and explained away.

I was impressed by the over all screenshot that I forgot to look at the graphs.

I was just reading the post about the centrals and wonder if I could ask someone here to look at the data on my centrals last night, please? I'm freaking out a bit because a whole bunch of them occurred in a very close time frame, and wonder why this would have happened? The pressure wasn't as high as it went later so not sure? Also for such a lot to occur in a short time frame makes me concerned about 02 levels. What do folks think?

My first suspect for that central cluster is awake breathing probably.
Even if it wasn't awake breathing and they were all the real deal...still not enough of them to worry about.
I know it seems like a large number to you but it really isn't considered a large number.
If it was awake breathing irregularities getting flagged by mistake...we ignore them anyway as they aren't "real".

Thanks Pugsy!

Last night was much better, only 2 clear airway events.

Despite my insomnia (onset and maintenance), and consequent fragmentation of sleep, including getting up for an hour or so and reading, I think I got about 4 1/2 to 5 hours of sleep and it felt great. I had dreams, and felt that lovely old feeling of good sleep that I remember from a year or two ago before menopause hit me with a sledge hammer and destroyed my sleep patterns.

I feel refreshed this AM.

The Airsense 10 is doing the job. I love this machine, and the reassurance it provides me psychologically knowing I am not oxygen starved night after night.

The mask is extremely comfortable, very light on the nose, and the machine absolutely silent.

So grateful for the help I got here.
