Why does my flow rate differ 1/2 the night in?

Hopefully someone waaaay smarter than I am will reply, but how about you are having many more events the second half of the night and/or vice versa.

So the next question for those experts would be for them to get a look at your chart in a different format and possibly tell you why. See: viewtopic/t158560/How-to-post-images-for-review.html
to remove your pie chart and scoot the calendar up and out of site so they can see all the data that is below.

For some reason, you are not sleeping well during the second half. Click on the Events tab to see what type of events you are having and how long each one is.

What was your diagnosis? Why were you prescribed a bilevel machine?

I was told by a sleep tech tech that REM sleep for me was really long , and they never seen anyone in REM sleep as long as i was.
thats a good guess ... how to fix that no idea i changed the pressure and for sure went the wrong direction . but again second half of the night same thing
