It's not really much of a diagnostic tool.

But it's fast and easy and it's web-based so you can see it on your phone or tablet and don't have to be at your computer.

If your concern is making sure you're in compliance for insurance or DMV reasons, then it might be good enough.

The extra stuff like "GOALS", and "COACHING" are just useless fluff.

I agree that it's not nearly as comprehensive as Sleepyhead software, but it's easy and gives a general overview. What I really wish it had was a place for notes or personalization. It would be nice to incorporate a note field like alcohol consumption, or stress, or whether a sleep aid was used, and how it affects sleep. There's nothing like waking up and discovering that you slept 11 hours with an AHI of 0, and you had wine the night before, or that you slept 6 hours with an AHI of .9 but were stressed out the day before. Instead of keeping a separate sleep diary.

Agree with previous comments. I'm a new CPAP user and the program helps me understand the readings. I'm probably not ready yet for more details.

the more you dumb down what you take in, the longer it'll take you to get smart.

I use a sleep diary every night and have for about 2 years. I keep a steno pad next to my bed and have a sort of shorthand notation I use to record my alcohol, stress levels and anything I consider important or different on any given day/night. I also record any large leaks and my AHI. Recorded are new cushions, new rolls of tape, when I need more Lansinoh etc etc. It's easy to maintain once you get in the habit. BTW, Sleepyhead does have a notes or comments section, but I find the paper version easy to use and carry around to the computer, telephone, bedroom or wherever.

I received a DreamStation yesterday from my new DME (I fired Linacre) and just installed DreamMapper tonight. It may not be SleepyHead, but it still gives me more data then the forums say. I've never used SleepyHead and I think it might just confuse me. This is the data I got off or DreamMapper for my first nights use. You just have to click on "Show details."

BTW, SleepyHead lets you add notes for every day's data - there's a notes tab for every day. It can be very handy if you want to keep track of stuff, settings, etc.
