So each one those lasts about 4-8 seconds. Even though they don't register on my machine(dreamstation bipap auto) as any sort of event, is it normal for your breathing to suddenly go flat when you're asleep, or is it indicative of a flow limitation, just that it doesn't last long enough(10 seconds) for it to be registered as such my the machine?

Ps: I have no idea how to embed images

you got it right that time. I can see an image now.
You are better using the top of sleepyhead, ...file, view, data, help.... select view/ select 'take screenshot' find it in documents, sleepyheadData and upload..doing it the first time is the hardest

I need to see all the data to have a guess, more than likely, you may need more min pressure.

The reductions or cessation of the air flow must last at a minimum of 10 seconds to earn a flag.
It's the line in the sand that the medical community came up with....at least 10 seconds.

Do you see a lot of this sort of thing?
Were you by chance awake when these happened?
