What is the correlation between my events, leaks, & pressure

Post by bahanas » Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:06 pm

Hello! I received my autoset last night and am a bit puzzled by the graphs. I loaded the night's data into both resscan and sleepyhead and am wondering if anyone could provide some insights

1. Around 4am, there's a gap in pressure and flow rate. What would cause this gap?
2. There'a a cluster of events shortly after the gap. What's the correlation between events, pressure, and flow rate?

Thank you so much,

first, congratulations on figuring out how to set up sleepyhead for a good screenshot, and posting it the best way on imgur.

1) the machine was turned off and back on, you can see the pressure ramping back up afterwards.
2) that's very complicated. often, there's more events at lower pressures, as you can see, the pressure was still coming up when the events started, and sometimes, when they start, they seem to provoke more events, and you get clusters... which might have had to do with sleep stage, or position. as to flow rate, that's your breathing in and out, zoom way in to see breaths.
