Sleepyhead stats on leakage - how to interpret?

Oh man, you can tell that I don't feel so good. I seem to be trying to come down with some sort of bug. It started yesterday.
So my mind isn't so sharp...obviously.

EPR is ResMed exhale relief...and Flex is the exhale relief available on Respironics machines. While they don't work exactly the same the premise is the same.

Go here and request the manual for your machine.

My flex setting is at 3, meaning the greatest amount of pressure reduction during expiration. I'm curious why you think changing this might produce a better result? The first time I tried a CPAP - maybe 10 years ago - I quit after a few days because I didn't like feeling like I was being inflated like a balloon. I felt like I had to fight to exhale, which constantly woke me up and then prevented me from getting back to sleep. The resulting stress and lack of sleep were not only intolerable but dangerous, particularly during my morning commutes.

Thanks, Pugs.

There is a very small subset of cpap users who will have centrals pop up simply from the use of exhale relief causing the 2 different pressures.
Turning Flex off may or may not cause a reduction in the centrals...but I figured it was an easy thing to try and also turning Flex off slightly increases the overall average pressure a bit and it might help with the OAs and hyponeas.

Your centrals might also be "post arousal" centrals meaning the OAs/hyponeas happen can there is an arousal and then we pause our breathing during the arousal and it's not a real central. At this point we don't know for sure if they are real or not. I don't want to totally ignore them but I don't want to spend a lot of time on them until the OAs and hyponeas are better dealt with and then we see if the centrals are still numerous enough to worry about.
