Probably a stupid question

I don't understand where it shows the hours "sleep" "wake" 'hours" it seems to confuse me. Good leak rates for me though!
Also good sleep for me.

Sleep is when you first turned the machine on.
Wake is when you last turned the machine off in the AM.
Obviously you have a couple of breaks in therapy....scroll all the way down to the bottom of the Statistics numbers and you will see the sessions broken down into when you turned the machine off in the middle of the night and turned it back on again.

Hours is just the total time the machine was on so it adds those sessions together.
I say total time the machine is on because it doesn't know if you were awake or asleep...you know how long you might have been awake so you have to mentally factor that in to the "hours of use".

Thanks, I never actually turn the machine on or off, I should start doing that. The breaks once I start sleeping are just potty breaks. One day I might figure this stuff out but luckily I have you here in the mean time!

The obvious breaks in therapy are from the machine turning itself off if you didn't do it.. You probably have SmartStart enabled so that it will start up when you take a couple of breaths and also it turns itself off after a brief time when it doesn't sense your breathing on the other end.
There's no urgent need to change your routine and manually shut it off if you don't want to. The worst thing that will happen is that very brief time with large leak if you aren't attached and it might mess with the leak numbers but it won't mess with it much because it doesn't blow for very long if you aren't attached.
You can see that leak spike at the first break in therapy. It messes with the scale a little and the max leak number but not horribly so.

I turn my machine off in the middle of the night if I happen to get up but then I also remove my mask too. Just old habit from back in the early days when the machine I was using would run a lot longer if I wasn't attached to it and the large leak time was significant enough to mess with the leak numbers more than just a tiny spike does.

Your choice though. Not a big deal one way or the other with your machine.

It is a smart start and I do take the mask off each time I get up, I can't breathe if the hose is not attached (claustrophobic) so that few minute break is good for me. Good info! I do feel like I am starting to adapt.
