Thanks for posting that. I've never seen a report from those machines before.

Could be mouth leakage. Are you taping or using Polident adhesive denture strips? Your AHI average is still up there (4.5) near the 5.0 mark, too.
Do you wake up with a dry mouth?

Getting ENOUGH sleep is important, too.

When you say ENOUGH sleep, what do you mean, 6 hours of sleep aren't enough?

You should allow for 7-9 hours of sleep per night. I found that in the beginning I needed 8 hours of sleep. After a year and a half, I now wake after 6-6 1/2 hours. You may need extra sleep now as your body tries to catch up and repay your sleep debt.

For me it USED to be (6 hrs.). But, after being on this therapy for almost 3 years, I've been working on getting my average up to around 7 1/2 hrs.
If I get a few nights back down in the 6-range (now), I'm dragging.

I really enjoy sleeping now.
