Re: Has treating the sleep apnea or using the cpap helped with
[quote][/quote]Thank you I have sleep apnea under control but this clenching / grinding is bugging me because it gives me tooth pain as I explained . I am now wondering if my apnea caused the grinding I am not sure as I have been using the machine for two weeks so I would expect if it was related it would disappear.

Of course 95% number just mean the leak was at or below that number for 95% of the night.
Now there are some averages in the statistics if using SleepyHead...so where did you get the 1 L/min number?
Even a 24 L/min 95% number doesn't necessarily mean the therapy is in the toilet because of the "or below" part of the definition.
If you are seeing 1 L/min on the machine's LCD screen then your excess leak is extremely minimal and almost non existent and definitely nothing to worry about. Whatever you are doing in terms of mask fit and seal...keep doing it because it is excellent.

I have the airsense auto set for herChicagoGranny wrote:That means the average unintentional leak is one liter per minute. This is a very good leak statistic - congratulations!Novello1234 wrote:the leak sectuin says 1 l a minute what does that mean
If you want to see more detailed information, the free Sleepyhead software is available - see https://sleep.tnet.com/resources/sleepyhead
Most of the regular members use Sleepyhead to manage their therapy.
Which model? There are four:Novello1234 wrote:resmed air sense 10
AirSense 10 AutoSet - Best
AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her - Best
AirSense 10 CPAP - BRICK - Do not accept!
AirSense 10 Elite - Data capable, but lacks auto function. Not recommended.

What additional information are you looking for?novello123 wrote:Just wanting to know if anybody else had oppo to read my post
No one can tell you when, or even if, your teeth grinding will go away with CPAP usage. I believe it will, but habits get ingrained and can take some time to go away.
I hope you have the best of luck and the grinding disappears quickly.
