Sleepyhead setting or program glitch?

[Breathing]

Just looking at my overview for the past month, and although my average night's sleep is around 8 hours, it is showing usage of 16 hours per night for the past month.
The only thing that has changed is that my old SD card went off to the RT for her analysis, and I put a new SD card in the machine. It recorded all of my data, but the data is wrong. Any idea what happened or how I can fix it? Here is a picture of the over view from today. All of these green bars that used to be 8 or 9 or so, are now 16 or so. It says my average night sleep is over 17 hours.

This is a known bug, which JediMark is aware of, triggered by the DST change on some resmed machines. There is a workaround to use until the bug is fixed.

Open SleepyHead, select Daily. In the bottom left panel (the one with the colors), with the tab of Details, scroll to the bottom. Under Session Information, you will see at least two different time periods, sometimes more, (eg,if you left your machine to go to the bathroom, etc., during the night). Look in the column denominated as On. Select the icon for the session or sessions which are not accurate in that column, and click to turn the right hand side (left is black) from green to red. This will remove that information from your statistics, and SleepyHead will work correctly.

That doesn't change it. In the box above the pie-chart. See the line above the pie chart that says, "sleep" "wake" and total? sleep 2239, wake 0703 for a total time of 16:48. My watch says that this is 8.5 hours, not 16.

Any suggestions?

greatunclebill provide you with the work around which is the same process that I use. You have to pull the slider bar down to the bottom in your lower lefthand box and you should see session information, with green toggles. If yours is like mine, you should see overlapping or duplicate sessions. Toggle the duplicate session off by changing the green toggle to a red color and go back up and your total time should now be correct.

OK, now I see it. It is showing a duplicate of the real data.

So I have to go to each day individually and turn the duplicate off?

yes, if it happens again. i don't know if it is intermittent or permanent when it happens. it's just one of those things that happens with some resmeds on sleepyhead and not others.

On my machine, it's a daily event. I've traded correspondence with JediMark, but no resolution yet. The way it works on mine, when I import my data each morning, the date 30 days in the past develops a duplicate session for some reason. When I look at the Overview graphs, that one day sticks out like a sore thumb since the bar for that date is twice as long as any other day. So, I go into the daily tab for that day 30 days ago, and turn off the duplicate session. In order to get the Overview chart to show correctly, I have to exit Sleepyhead and then re-open it...then all of the bars are correct again.

Thanks b36! That fixed it, until tomorrow morning.

Interesting. I had to go back and fix every single day's data for my machine. This happened when I got a new SD card. I wonder if every time I change SD cards, I am going to have to go fix all my data?
I only have a little over a month of data right now, but if I had six months or a year's worth of data, having to go back and fix every day's data seems a little ridiculous.

Thanks for the instructions.

if it's a real big problem, look at resscan every day, then look at and fix a day of sleepyhead now and then when you have a problem.

seeing this is a daylight savings time related problem, does your s-9 have a DST on/off switch? if so, try turning DST off and see if it helps. if it works, the time would be off by an hour, which is alot easier to deal with. respironics doesn't have this problem because we don't have a visible clock or clock settings.

I just bumped a thread I started several months ago on the Sourceforge.net site under the Sleepyhead Bug Tracker where I'd been conversing with Jedimark to try and get this issue resolved. I know he has had some personal issues he's been dealing with the past several months but hopefully he can look into a fix for this soon. It's far beyond my technical expertise, but his belief was in had something to do with the importer on Resmed machines. Outside of this one issue, I've been very impressed with the Sleepyhead software.

There is at least a workaround, ignoring the Resmed summary data, that is checked in to GIT.

If you have some software development skill, you can get it by checking out and compiling the SleepyHead yourself. See http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/s ... rom_source

I started looking into Sleepyhead again when I saw that Mark had added Zeo data to the mix. There are lots of improvements so I'm trying to catch up.

I have a lot of thoughts on this issue but it's late.
I think the solution for now is to wipe the card and the machine now, and before every time change. That should keep it from writing more duplicate data. I may start a new user profile since I have all my data in ResScan and not much good data in Sleepyhead.

I think the combine close sessions may be part of the issue too because I have sessions inside of sessions.
Like I said, it's late.

If you have computer-developer skills, there is another option. Follow the directions for building SleepyHead from source.
