DoriC, I had another sleep study a couple/few years ago and the results were the same. I have tried a lot of different masks. I started with the mask I am using now - the Comfort Gel Nasal (I hate the frame for the new Blue version and am using what I have left of my old frames). A long time ago I decided to try the full face masks to see if that would help me more since I hadn't noticed much of a difference in the way I felt since starting BiPap.I have tried a few different ones over the years. I got tired of fighting the leaking around my mouth and being kept awake all night so I went back to my original nasal mask. I think I fidget less with the mask, but I still have insomnia, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

So what about software?? That would tell you how much your mask is leaking, how many arousals, what type of events,etc. I think it's essential to be able to see your data and be able to tweak settings accordingly. You can contact Pugsy about the software.
