Weird SleepyHead problem

nelamvr6 · Post by **nelamvr6** » Fri Mar 21, 2014 7:12 am

I installed SleepyHead on my new computer. the installation went fine, no problems at all, I'm using the latest stable version, 0.9.3.

I then imported my data from my Respironics PR System One 60 Series. the import also appeared to go fine. But the results are way off.

Now on the statistics page things look fine in the "Most Recent" and "Last 7 Days" columns, but from then on it goes wackey. Under "Last 30 Days my AHI is listed as 161.43, under "Last 6 Months" it's listed as 398.58. My AHI only rarely goes above 3!

Also the Overview graphs are OK for the most recent 29 days, then they go all wonky.

Has anyone run into this before? I did a search, but couldn't find anything.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

TIA

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the new computer is running Windows 7 Enterprise.

I have similar. The earliest recorded days are corrupt in my case. Also, if I look at the Overview tab I can see values in, let's say August 13, but if I go to the Daily tab and access a given day in August 13 it reports no data available. I have tried to delete corrupt data without success and anymore I just ignore it. I have ported the system to other platforms (all Windows) and that did not help. Creating a new user merely replicates the same issue as the import brings in corrupt data. I think the original corruption occurred when I tried to merge SPO2 information into Sleepyhead. But that is just a vague notion based on timing. I cannot say that is really what happened.

That's a known bug in the statistics part of the calculations and I don't know of any way to fix it short of turning off the weird night (assuming you can spot the offending night) sessions to omit that data from the calculations.
I never had that particular bug show up with my 60 series machine but others have had it show up even when using the latest stable build.

You might try the unstable build to see if it is still present in that build. Despite the name I find it remarkably stable.
You can use it in conjunction with the current 0.9.3 build (I have both).

You can try turning off the session(s) for the night(s) that are whacky. That feature is just below the statistics number on the daily detailed report on the left side of the report...just scroll way down and click on the green bar to turn it to red which will turn it off.

As to why it is whacky on all nights prior to 29 days...I don't know...Might also try a reinstall of Sleepyhead 0.9.3 to see if they are still whacky. Maybe a reinstall would correct the calculations bug. Worth a try if we are talking about a lot of nights.
Or just try unstable 0.9.4...note it doesn't have an installer yet so you have to open it by finding the application.exe file in the folder after it is unzipped. Then just make a shortcut to it on your desktop so you don't have to go digging in the folder all the time. That's what I did.

Thanks for the replies guys. Pugsy, I've already re-installed the program several times. I'll try the unstable build.

On the off chance that it is the machine/SD card that has the data files messed up some how have you verified that Encore software doesn't have a problem?
If the unstable build doesn't fix the issue...and you don't have Encore and want to try it just send me a note and tell me what operating system is on your computer.

It just may be a bug in SleepyHead but while your issue is not yours alone...it isn't very common. I never had it happen with my 60 series machine at all. When it has been reported it has always been 60 series machines though..so something in there that SleepyHead has a problem with and the statistics section is commonly off...but AHI is not commonly off though.

If Encore is showing fine...we just have to chalk it up to a bug in Sleepyhead and maybe when Mark gets his bug thread up and running to address bugs...he will want to know if it is still present in the unstable build as he fixed some bugs with it.
So let us know if the bug is still there in the unstable build...and Encore is not reporting a problem. That's important because if Encore has a problem..then maybe we can't blame it all on SleepyHead bug.

Well, the unstable build didn't help. Pugsy, you have a PM. I really do like the UI on the unstable build, but it did crash a couple of times for me. Mostly when I was trying to look at data from days more than 30 days ago.

Well, I think we can rule out a malfunction with either the SD card or my machine. The Encore reports look just like the reports I used to get with SleepyHead. My AHI since November never goes above 6.

One thing that did occurr to me, on previous Windows installations, I didn't use the 0.0.3 build, I used an earlier build to which I applied the Series 60 patch. think that might have something to do with it?

And BTW, thanks a bunch, Pugsy, we'd all be lost without you!

You can still go back and use that slightly older SH version and manually do the Patch file if you want to.
Those files are still available.

I am out of ideas otherwise. Obviously a bug and for this one I don't have a bug swatter.

Thanks for this one. I've been looking for a way to get rid of some data in the overview stuff that was causing whole graphs to have little value. Just removing 3 days of obviously wildly anomalous data has made my overview graphs much more useful.

I wish I could remember which build that was. Do you still have the link to that patch?

Patch thread
viewtopic/t83551/SleepyHead-Series-60-Patch-Avail.html
Windows Patch link is in the first post.

The build right before 0.9.3 was 0.9.1
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sleepyhead/files/
dated Jan10 2012

Make sure that you install SleepyHead with Administrator Rights (right click on setup files to get that option) so updates go smoothly.

Thanks Pugsy! You rock!

Well, thanks anyway Pugsy, but that didn't work either. I guess I'll just live with the most recent 30 days worth of data.
