sleepyhead graph question

What country are you in? We've seen problems downloading OSCAR into Taiwan in the past, and some IP ranges may be blocked because of problems with spam etc originating from them. I'm not aware of any other countries that block access, but it would not surprise me if there were.

Please PM me with your IP address so I can check whether blocking is at our end or whether perhaps your country is blocking access.

Pmed thank you~

Set the ramp to "auto" ramp instead of whatever you have it set to.
Auto ramp.....ramp ends either when the machine thinks you are asleep or after 30 minutes whichever comes first.
If you are awake you can't have sleep apnea events for the machine to miss recording anyway because you must be asleep for sleep apnea events to happen.

the problem I get is auto always guesses wrong and then I start getting the throat click. I'm wondering if just setting my min pressure at around my starting/waking pressure would be better than a long ramp?

Your choice how you wish to handle it. Try different settings or simply accept the fact that ramp doesn't record anything and you need ramp like it is. If you need ramp a certain way so you can fall asleep and stay asleep then that is more important than the lack of events being recorded. Gotta get to sleep first before anything else matters.
From the looks of your report it doesn't look like you missed recording very many anyway.

Sometimes we just have to make compromises. It's not the end of the world when we do.

Or get yourself a DreamStation 2 machine. It records events that happen during ramp.

Ok, so sounds like I just have to experiment for a bit and see what works best. In my thinking, setting the low pressure rather low seems like it would at least mean that whenever I did fall asleep it would automatically start reacting to flow limitations which in theory would be better than no reaction with ramp?

Setting the min pressure too low causes repeated breathing problems throughout the night.

Oh dear, seems like sort of a "damned if I do, damned if I don't" situation! I guess just more experimentation then.

I think there is an alternate website for downloads outside the US but I can't remember where it is.

No, we do not have an alternate website for downloads outside the US. If anyone has set one up, that is independent of the OSCAR project and would not be maintained by the OSCAR project.

When access is blocked, my first recommendation is to try using a VPN. That often works around blocks, even country blocks.

Well I guess that is why I can't remember it. I must have dreamed it.
