My 90% pressures have been running 18/15 - last nite I decided to bump up my EPAP from 13 to 14 to start a little closer to my 15 EPAP. Even the snores are better, ha.
Maybe now you can understand why I add the FL's to my AHI's
I doubt this had anything to do with the Repti Heater -
Or My Fire Controller

I have no doubt, how I sleep affects every waking moment.

If this isn’t rocket science why are there so many spaceshots?

Plumb purty, Gumby. Well, the leak line could look smoother if we want to get picky, but it's staying within bounds...not hitting Large Leak situations. Very nice AHI.
There's a lot to be said for setting the EPAP for the BiPAP Auto up to where it prevents most problems right from the get-go (as you have done.) Makes it so that an "empty ceiling" up above (the upper range that EPAP could travel to, if needed) doesn't have to be used very often, but is "there" in case it's needed occasionally.
Same applies to setting the minimum pressure of an autopap high enough to "prevent" most things, imho.
Good job, Gumby!

Yea, I saw the leak line but hey I'm only a man & can do 1 thing at a time and not very well at that.
It was what I read & learned here (from you) that made me try it. Let's face it - if it was 'Perfect' - I would have no reason to sleep.
Now on to the Missing Data Problem - yes, this morning NO data, only compliance data. Go figure
