Could someone look at my Sleepyhead results and talk about UARS?

Thank you so much Pugsy. It is a bit of a learning curve all of this stuff. I really appreciate the time you put into this forum helping people. You're amazing!

As for the Startsense I guess turning it off and back on again in the settings made it go off when I went to use the washroom last night. But this morning when I took the mask off it didn't. I waited 10 seconds or so and then had to turn it off manually. I'll see if it works tonight.

Thanks.

Sometimes SmartSense auto off part doesn't work so great with some masks depending on the pressures used and the mask.
You might make sure your mask selection in your equipment menu is reflecting the correct mask...sometimes that is the problem.
But if you have the correct mask type chosen you might be like me...SmartSense just doesn't want to auto off with your mask at your pressures.
I have that problem....with my P10 it simply doesn't want to turn itself off no matter what pressure I use but with my Bleep mask it works fine.

I am not so much concerned about the on/off part as I am the fact that you are getting up in the first place.
Are you getting up to pee because the bladder is full and painful or just because you wake up and figure you might as well go pee?
Do you have to go pee a lot during the day as well?
Obviously your sleep is fragmented and that alone means your sleep quality isn't optimal and you aren't going to feel so good.

Hi Pugsy,

OK, then it's probably my mask. I check my settings again.

I think I'm getting up because my bladder is full but not painful. I seem to pee a lot. During the day I don't think I have to go a lot. I can not go for hours.

I'm up once or twice a night depending on how long I'm sleeping. In 10 hours I might get up twice. I wondered if this is normal or not and if not if it's related to UARS. I know it's a problem for people with Sleep Apnea.

Thanks.

peeing at night (nocturia) is a symptom of sleep disordered breathing. I too have UARS and I too get up to urinate at night like clockwork.

Hi, dear folks, and musicfreak
Had to dig this up. I would love to know about current follow up.
At first, your case looks similar to mine, even more, if I consider times when I was in CPAP and AirSense 10 Autoset. But still some similarities these days on my BPAP.
Looking twice trough this thread: what amazing and careful discussions, large experiences pointing out!
Learning from my own case and many others elsewhere, I suspect you might sufferer from PLMS eventually, however it appeared to me your FL and RERA still have to be worked out, so that eventual PLMS could come out clearer.
At first, it appears to me you would keep on going with many respiratory-driven awakenings/wake ups, which would be your main sleep drawback. To clarify further, I would like to see your Tidal Volume and Respiratory Rate charts, both with the median reference line plotted, and, also, with some ten-minute windows besides full night.
I have just joined this Forum. In my first post, I raised the question on eventual benefit from Pressure Support, beyond increasing in Pressure in your Autoset. In my case, and many others of lingering treated people, I have been lurking, and eventually discussing elsewhere, significant noticed improvements on UARS/FL/RERA therapy only would start appear, except very rare exceptions, when people move to BPAP and experience the overnight magic while moving from EPR to Pressure Support > 3.0, sometime with just ridiculous increase as to 3.6, 4.0 or more.

I would suggest you listening carefully every word of this seminal interview with the legendary Dr. Guilleminaut to Steven Park (best seller autor of one of the best book I ever read, maybe) : https://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/8/0/2/802d33 ... a0843fc043
Good luck

Hi, could you elaborate a bit more on this? Are you saying we should be switching to a BiPAP if we have UARS?
