sleepyhead

Post by Maryd » Tue Aug 26, 2014 6:02 pm

Every morning I check my progress with the Sleepyhead program. I notice that if I check it later in the day, sometimes the data changes, although I do not reinsert the memory thing. Any reason why this happens?

Why would that cause the data to change? I'm not napping and using it during the day. I check it in the morning at around 6 and when I come home from work, at around 5, I go on to analyze my data a little more and that is when I notice the the AHI has changed (usually for the better) and the event number has changed.

That should not happen.

Can you maybe keep a more specific record of what is changing? It would involve taking a screen shot in the AM and the comparing it to another screen shot in the PM.

I have never heard of this happening but then most of us don't go checking the data twice in one day. I am doing good to check it once.

How much of a difference are we talking about?

Do you do two imports? How are you comparing data - on the screen or in sleepyhead or both?

I am looking at the data on the Sleepyhead program. I do not think my machine tells it all.

Tomorrow I am going to take a picture of the data in the morning and in the evening. I am obsessed with the Sleepyhead program. I am amazed at my progress with the CPAP. I was never a Sleep Apnea believer, but the progress I have made is remarkable. Sleeping better..falling asleep (most of the time) faster, and my AHI is usually under 1…sometimes it is a 0 and I get a smiley face!!!!

I just noticed the same thing just today. 8/20/14 was my first day with my machine. Today my AHI was 23 when it had been 18.9 for that day. Thanks for your post now I know I'm not crazy.

please provide screenshots, as well as what OS and version of sleepyhead you're using.

ok, thanks, see if you can get a 'before' and 'after' screenshot showing the problem, and tell us if you did another data import or anything...
