Back into regular cpap usage, but not getting amazing sleep
Back into regular cpap usage, but not getting amazing sleep
I bought a new mask (Dreamwear nasal) and it made a ton of difference to my compliance, so I have been a regular nightly cpap user again. I seem to be getting an AHI where it should be (2.29 average over the past year) but am not getting great sleep - I feel like I need 10+ hrs and still don't feel peppy a lot of days. Thought maybe someone here might have some ideas based on my Sleepyhead graph? PR System 1, pressure setting 10-16. This was last night, a bit higher AHI than usual lately.

Strange...Your data says your System One is set to 10/16, but it appears that you were fixed at 13 all night?

Re: Back into regular cpap usage, but not getting amazing sleep
Is it likely you fall asleep such that your head falls forward, causing your airway to be compressed? If so, look up soft cervical collars - they'll keep your head up (more), open your airway and keep your jaws, if not lips closed. Many people here use one.

That straight pressure line is questionable whether your machine is working. It doesn't respond to any of your events like an APAP should. Is it fixed on all of your days?

Re: Back into regular cpap usage, but not getting amazing sleep
I wonder if the machine needs a trip to the "shop", to make sure it is working OK.
