Think I have finally posted the info...both the sleep test and the SleepyHead info. Thanks for your patience.

I know posting can be very difficult first time around. I've spent hours myself.
Try again.
Know you can preview your post and choose to delete or not submit when the picture is not showing.
Try again using imgur. Read each page of the instructions. Follow one step at a time.

I think it did work. I can see all the data posted with the exception of the last. I'll redo that one. I find IMGUR to be incomprehensible...photo bucket to be simple, so I'm using that.

Yes, it did work.
Nice and clear.

Now you want to:

Include the left side column that has all the detailed information.
On the left side turn off the calendar by clicking on the triangle by the date.
Also the pie chart doesn't give us very much info so you can turn it off by going to File - Preferences -Appearance - Uncheck Show event break down pie chart
That allows us to see the machine details on the left.

The graphs that are usually helpful are:
1. Event Flags
2. Flow Rate
3. Pressure (not mask pressure)
4. Leak
5. Flow Limit (only with Resmed machine)
Put your graph in that order by grabbing, by the labels, with your mouse and dragging it where you want it.
Now grab the line between the graphs and resize them until you get them in one screenshot.

I'm new here, but by following their directions to the letter using IMGUR, these people can help you. Your photobucket images are not working. You won't get burned out if you just do as they suggest. Use the preview button so you can see exactly what will be posted beforehand.

Also,
To get rid of the graphs that are not particularly useful in Sleepyhead -
Go to the bottom right hand corner and
click off the unnecessary graphs.

Also,
Your picture is magnified and you want to change this to show as much of your total sleep time as possible.

OK. Thanks for the input. I'm going back to it but I played with IMGUR for quite a while and never got anywhere..and that was following the FORUM advice. Photo Bucket works and it was mentioned in one of the first instruction sheets I got from this site. Would like to get away from this focus on the perfect graph and get some input on my apnea/ CPAP problems at some point.

I prefer Photobucket myself; but I have always been comfortably different.

Hi,
No one is looking for a perfect graph and it's ok to use photobucket if this works for you.
You are almost where you want to be with photobucket.
However, in order to give you the best input on your apnea/cpap problems, certain information is needed.
This is what is needed:

Include the left side column that has all the detailed information.
On the left side turn off the calendar by clicking on the triangle by the date.
Also the pie chart doesn't give us very much info so you can turn it off by going to File - Preferences -Appearance - Uncheck Show event break down pie chart
That allows us to see the machine details on the left.

The graphs that are usually helpful are:
1. Event Flags
2. Flow Rate
3. Pressure (not mask pressure)
4. Leak
5. Flow Limit (only with Resmed machine)
Put your graph in that order by grabbing, by the labels, with your mouse and dragging it where you want it.
Now grab the line between the graphs and resize them until you get them in one screenshot.

I included the left side column in the 1st post with the AHI I think. Tried to get rid of some graphs but when I go the bottom right, nothing happens. The calendar is turned off. It doesn't show as far as I can see. Thanks for your patience. I'm taking a break. I hope I can get some feedback on what I've posted even if it's not up to perfect. I think all the info you want is there but not in the Forum standard order.

Not sure what you mean by "1st post with the AHI". The above post is the only one I see.
You want to open up sleepy head, and be looking at the night's data when you go to the bottom right corner to turn off graphs, etc.
Maybe this is a step you are missing. Just guessing.

Then when everything looks about right, take a screenshot, post, preview before you submit.

You're almost there.

Not saying you need to use imgur, but look at the information below to help you understand what to post.

Go to:

https://sleep.tnet.com/resources/sleepyhead/shorganize

Check out the "Example Screen" at the very bottom of the page.

This shows the left side column and the graphs you want to post.
