First week of January, I will have been on cpap for 1 year. Ive got 277.4 hours showing on my machine. Today i pulled the trigger on a used machine with only 11 hours on it. Thats like 1 nights sleep for me. It will be great to have a back up/travel machine.
Overall I feel so much better than I did just a year ago.
Sometimes I feel like Im sleeping too much still but my ahi is excellent. Ive yet to install sleepyhead but I may do that and let the experts here take a look at things to see if they can see any areas for improvement.
Just wanted to say thanks to this board. I dont post often, but I read and learn from all of you.

Congratulations! A year is a great achievement. I just completed my first month and have found it to be a fascinating experience.Barbee wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 8:15 amFirst week of January, I will have been on cpap for 1 year.

I would definitely suggest getting SleepyHead -- if only for being able to see what's happening with your sleep. I know not everybody is interested in all that minutiae, but I know that without it, my sleep would be much worse than it is presently, and would have stayed that way for who-knows-how-long until the doctors decided to followup.

Re: 1 year in
Most nights my ahi is 1 or less so I know my sleep Dr will be thrilled but I suspect things could be tweaked and be even better. I just need to break down and fire up the old dinosaur laptop and install the software. I think I will do that right now!JonathanZK wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 8:55 amCongratulations!

Re: 1 year in
as always, it's better to feel good with your sleep rather than chase zero. but it certainly sounds like things are going your way!

Re: 1 year in
277.4 hours over a year's time-- could there be a digit missing?

Re: 1 year in
277.4 sounds like a 30 day usage, not a year usage. I've had my current machine for three years and it has over 9700 hours on it.

Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.
Re: 1 year in
Hahaha you both are right. I checked my machine again and that was for 1 month! Run hours are 2973.

You go gal!! Use sleepy head and you can learn to look at your charts and interpret them. It's not hard.
