Last time I was here, the pressure I slept at was higher. Recently, my machine's CPAP-Check mode decided to drop pressure all the way down to 6.0, the bottom of its range. It is an interesting experience. I do find it more challenging to breathe while awake with so low a pressure. To me, it feels almost slightly blocked, as if I'm wearing a scarf. I get to see a total leak line in the range of 19 - 20. My energy runs out after being awake for only around 14.5 hours now (whereas recently at 7.0 I had a few more hours). All the numbers reported in this mode are good, but it's a good thing I'm between classes right now as late evening chemistry labs and being barely awake don't mix.
I'm not a big fan of my time so far at 6.0. But curiosity and being between terms mean that I can sit here a little longer before pushing my settings back to where they're more comfortable.
