SleepyHead data

Tacr0limus · Post by **Tacr0limus** » Fri Mar 29, 2019 8:50 am

So this is my wife's data from her machine. She uses an Aircurve10 bipap with a flexfit 431 mask. She can sleep with the mask on for about an hour and a half before she tears it off while she's asleep, and then she is upset that she is not hitting her numbers. IDK if the graphs can tell us something about what is happening prior to her taking the mask off or not.

I also use a Autoset10 machine with a Resmed N20 mask... I am a CPAP pusher. This thing has been just amazing to my quality of life

; but my story/gear is going to be another thread. I really want this to work for her but the tough part is getting her to use it for the insurance quota so we can keep it. ugh.

OK so here are the screen shots of her time on machine last night

She has used the machine like this for the past month. If there is a spot I need to zoom in on or if there is useless data here please let me know. Thank you anyone who can help to point us in a direction.

Please review this thread for optimal formatting of the graphs and what we like to see.
viewtopic/t158560/How-to-post-images-for-review.html
We don't need all those graphs but we do need the stuff on the left side that you have omitted.
You can get all we need in one screen shot to start with. If someone needs something else they will ask.

No flagged events at all....odd....can you make sure that you haven't inadvertently turned off the event flags?
Lower left corner see where it says "Flags"...click on the little arrow to expand the menu and make see you don't see any red/black colors. If you do click on the red to change it to green.

If she is having trouble getting the usage in each night to satisfy insurance compliance hours of use requirements have her use the machine while watching TV or reading or whatever. It will build up the hours of use plus help her body/brain get used to the mask and machine and hopefully help her to not pull the mask off in the middle of the night.

AHI 0, not a blip on her flow Limitation. All at pressure 6cm.

I question her need to be on CPAP, or BiLevel. Not without seeing her sleep study, anyway.

Snoring, needs it.

I would find it hard to sleep with a pressure of 6cm. I need at least 8 in order to start my night.

Personally I shut off my ramp time so I don't have the lower pressure. She is on it due to her oxygen levels dropping during sleep hence the Bipap.

I cut that out because it seemed irrelevant with those numbers, the flags are all active (I'm guessing that what green signifies). I'll take another look at that post you linked. I will also remind her to put it on while we are watching tv, I picked up a projector from walmart for $90 and set it on a tripod so it displays on our ceiling above our bed, it's pretty great

(but bad for proper sleep hygiene)

Thank you all so far.

The stuff on the left in the statistics and settings column are very important.
The pressure graph appears fixed so knowing what the settings actually are is very important.
Settings and statistics numbers helps us figure out what might be going in to explain why so and so is looking the way it looks in the graph.
So everything is needed for best advice and ideas even if it doesn’t seem important.

Do the screenshot like my examples.....there are reasons for my madness,
I don’t like guessing at anything unless I simply have no choice. Let me decide what is important enough to help me offer the best ideas I can come up with.

Holy derp! I am laughing at myself. I read the wiki page that is linked and went and collapsed the calendar... WOW there numbers on there! lmao! ahhh yup. Anyhoot here is a *hopefully* better screenshot.

Now turn off the pie chart so we can see the settings.
Go to File upper left corner...the click on Preferences...the appearance tab....then remove the check mark for “show pie chart’

How come these particular settings are being used?
On paper they are working quite well.
What are the problems she is having???? Just sleeping with the mask or keeping it on and not taking it off in the middle of the night.

She needs more than 4 hours of sleep using the mask and machine. Is she sleeping without wearing the mask?
