Unless you wake up and turn off your machine you won't see the times you woke up.
The machine keeps recording as long as you are attached to it and it has not been turned off.
The software only reports what the machine records. That's all that any software can do. The software is limited to what the machine records. The machine doesn't know if you are awake or asleep.

Pugsy - so do I try imgur again or did you get enough info on my last chart?

The one report I saw shows a brief time in large leak but otherwise not remarkable.
If most of your reports look like that one and you aren't waking often during the night because of leaks I wouldn't worry much about the big leaks.

since I keep staying up past my normal betime, I'm not on machine as long as I could be. I still think there is a major leak that finally disturbs me enough to fully awaken. But I'll keep trying. I can't say I feel any better but this last adj to min/max helped a lot with my swallowing air issue - I may still burp a little in the morning but no more abnormal afternoon issues (TME).
My post from 11:29am was the newest download but I've read the messages now about imgur and will try agin tomorrow am. Must go to bed - pills kicking in!!

The TNET resource pages will get updated soon. Too much work not enough time to play. Last day at work is next Friday until end of year.

Have a lot of new stuff to add and update.

trevlin - thanks
pugsy - today it is reporting major leaks again.

Yeah...it's reporting "major" leaks but in reality less than 5 % of the entire night and if you see the actual block of the large leak (shows on the events graph) it's 3 times where it happened which probably means mask movement that got corrected shortly after it happened.

I don't consider that small of a time in large leak hugely important if I slept through them (and I often sleep through large leak flags like yours) and I shrug my shoulders and move on despite SleepyHead's warning.

I personally have my own line in the sand for % of time in big leaks that would worry me if I saw it often and that's over 10% of the time. That's my own line in the sand (ResMed's is 30%) and as long as I sleep well I don't worry about what SH says is "major" because SH sometimes makes mountains out of molehills.

You are brand new to this therapy and having to use a machine that can be perhaps harder to adjust to than plain cpap/apap and you are having to get used to some pretty significant pressure swings.
So you have a lot going on that has the potential to affect sleep quality and how many times you wake up.
I would suggest that you not panic over leaks less than 10% of the night being in large leak territory and just concentrate on getting adjusted in general to what you have going on.

In terms of therapy effectiveness these short lived times in large leak aren't creating a make it or break it situation.

thanks Pugsy - sage advice from a great person and my new friend. I'll keep looking at SH so I have some data for the Sleep Medicine Services people when I go on 12/17. I have so much going on in my life now. Way more than I care to post but will tell you 3 1/2 years "clean" after lung cancer surgery!
THANKS
