I met my doctor monday and he decided to grow my pression to 6 and switch my mask... I had a Dreamwear Nasal, but the mask gave me a sore below my nose and now i'm with a Airfit N20.

The mask is amazingly quiet and so far i didnt got a wake because of the leaks... but in the software i can see there is some... which i had not with the dreamwear...

What is your thoughts ?

thanks!

the 2 firsts screenshots are from the weekend (dreamwear mask), the rest is this week (N20 mask)

See some what??? Leaks on the leak graph? If that is what is concerning you and they aren't causing wake ups...ignore them.
The machine can compensate for leaks that small quite easily. Don't start to worry until you see a lot of time with leaks above 24 L/min.
If you were thinking you needed a totally flat 0.0 leak graph line....don't because that is an unrealistic expectation.

If you are sleeping good and feeling good...pat yourself on the back and just continue doing whatever you are doing. No need to change or improve anything.

No kidding - in my very short time here, I've never seen anyone get off to a start like this.

How is the quality of sleep coming along?

That's all great news. Things will continue to get better. Except maybe the dreams - I was surprised to read here that's not necessarily good. Myself, I enjoy a dream once in awhile. They're incredibly weird, and always make me wonder what's REALLY going on in my noggin. :)

8 would be better... 6 is too low, and the machine spends the night trying to get back to that, causing more events. (not that you have many, but you could have less).
