resmed data appears not fully accurate

Post by dmoss74 » Sat Aug 09, 2025 9:29 pm

first off; i'm aware that these algorithms are an approximation of the full picture. none of us are getting full fledged sleep screening every night with our machine data.

as an example, look at last night's data for me. by the numbers, i'd think "great!"

but zoomed in you can see obvious flow limits they don't report, as well as mini CAs (in my estimation). you really need to know how to interpret this data to fully know how you're doing. i'm a complete novice at understanding this stuff. it's tough to calculate where you should be if you what you read isn't representative of what's actually happening.

I don't see any significant FLs, and there's no such thing as "mini CAs", but you do seem to have a touch of palatal prolapse in the 0100 area.

from 4:05 to 4:10 I see some RERAs (flow rate dropped and after 2-3 full breaths the flow rate recovered) not captured by algorithm. Most likely this was a REM sleep period. I would expect the same pattern in your REM sleep periods.

How did you feel subjectively about this night's sleep?
