The machine may not be dumb enough that you can fool it, it's made to treat Sleep apnea, that requires sleeping. Jim

Yesterday night I was on a pressure of 8-12. It didn't feel too disturbing, I easily went to sleep. I couldn't record any data since my SD card is dead, but the AHI was 3 according to the machine. I did an oximetry check too. O2 levels are good, stable around 94-95 all night. No spikes except a few, which are clearly artifacts. Today I'll also be buying a new SD card to monitor things better.
