Aliens visited me the other night

Post by Pugsy » Wed Aug 08, 2012 10:50 am

I am playing around with SleepyHead and Photobucket to see if I can get readable images that show up here without having the right side being cut off. Normally all we have to do is right click mouse over the large image and choose "view image" from the menu and the image will change and we can see the entire report.

Seems like some people can't do that because they don't get "view image" as a menu choice and the workaround needed to view the entire image is a PITA.

So I am going to post some images that I have done with altering the size of SleepyHead since I can't seem to figure out how resize things in Photobucket.

I have chosen these 2 reports because they show great examples of why I say that things can vary from night to night and us not having changed a thing. Both nights with the Pilairo. The ugly night is real obvious. Funny thing is that I felt that I slept the same with each night. Felt quite decent. So I can only think that the aliens must have come by on the Aug 6 report and did some experiments on me while I was asleep. That night is not a typical night for me.
Please disregard the leak line. I have a sneaking suspicion those big leaks are mouth open times when I turn on my back and I seem to do it often at times that also correlate with REM sleep. Some nights I see these leaks, some nights I don't, some nights they get into large leak territory, some nights they don't. Some nights I might spend 10 minutes or so up in large leak territory but it is very rare. Since those times are rare and I don't seem to wake up with the leaks or mouth open thing and thus not disturbing my sleep....I am not concerned about occasional large leaks. I sleep decently with minimal to none wakeups and feel decent. There certainly is no difference in how I felt in general from the Aug 5 night with essentially no leaks or evidence of mouth breathing and Aug 6 where the leak line is obviously less than perfect. I don't think that leaks were the reason for all those events. I had them even when no leaks were showing up.

So here I have re sized SH to less than full size and adjusted the graphs so that I get the main four graphs I look at.
Events, flow, pressure (since I am using auto adjusting pressures) and leaks.
Let me know if you all can see the entire image. Ending time on the right side of graph is around 07:00.

Well pooh....when I hit preview I could see up to 6 AM on the right side but now it is like all the others...way too big and I can only see to 03:48.
Back to the drawing board.

What I'm seeing looks like the whole graph. Ends at about 7:30 and then there is a border. I think there are aliens permanently living in all computers!

You all see the whole thing?
Well, crap....I can't.


Tell me if you can see all of it with this one? This one is with SH opened to full size.

I can see it all too. It has to do with display resolution and width I think. My display is high density wide.

It's interesting the difference. I see that the worse day is not real "clustery", at least compared to mine, somewhat evenly spread. Good example for those making changes to know to go a few nights (5-7) before making judgments, because results vary a lot even with no changes.

You know why Pugsy? I had the same problem. Shrink the size of your website picture for this website. You this website showing on your monitor so big you can't see photo.
FINALLY, I get to help you. *SNOOPY DANCE*

Yup, whole one on this too.

(But on some previous posts I know I wasn't seeing the whole thing. I remember in particular one that RobySue posted to answer someone's questions.)

I needed to set my display to 1440 by 900 to see the whole image.

Yeah, Pugsy, I think it's a display issue not what you're doing on your end. On my home computer I see your entire night on the graphs, but I just checked my iPad and I can only see up to 4:30 a.m. There's no scroll bar so no way to see the part that's cut off.

My screen resolution is listed as 1366 x 768 (recommended). Found it in the display settings in the control panel. Wow. Maybe someday I'll feel competent with a computer.

PS I see that is the same resolution you are using but that only shows you a partial image.

I can't shrink the size any more. I have the resolution as high as it will go. If I reduce it...I get MUCH bigger everything.
I have the website already set per the forum settings as small as it will go.
Is there some other way to reduce the size of this website that I am not aware of? Windows 7 Home premium laptop with a weird sized screen because I have number pad on the right size. Much wider than it is tall. I think that is likely part of my problem. As long as there is nothing I can do to make it better or worse for you guys then I won't worry about it.

I am okay with right clicking image and choosing "view image" to get full image. So not a big deal for me and not something I am going to lose any sleep over.

So back to the night the aliens paid me a visit....AHI of 6 something? Totally way off for me. Normally AHI in the 1ish range. Sometimes I have had 0.5ish range. Those aren't common though. I have had a couple of 0 events nights and a few 1 total events nights. Bummer to think that a lone Central or obstructive event keeps me from a 0.0.

Posted this so that people would see that even the veterans have "bad" nights on paper anyway. I can't say that I felt any different yesterday after the "bad" night than I did the day before when I had a rather stellar report.

Here is last night's report. AHI 3.15 but 2.19 of that was clear airway centrals and if you look at 7 AM large cluster.. I am pretty sure I was awake then because I woke up on my back and my back was really hurting and I couldn't get back to sleep. Either the pain gave me that cluster or the being awake gave me the cluster. I am pretty sure I lay there for at least 30 minutes thinking about getting up and doing a bit of tossing and turning trying to relieve the back pain. I don't normally put my reports under the microscope because most of the time I see only the usual normal variations. Maybe the really ugly night I happened to have more back pain than I remembered. I know that the nights that I do have more pain the reports tend to show it with more centrals which I assume are tossing and turning centrals.
I am going to work harder on trying to stay on my side. Mainly because laying on my back just kills me. I have had dreams that I my back hurt real bad and when I wake up it sure does hurt real bad.
