Update; I still don't have my official score from my air, but if I'm reading the data correctly, in terms of events per hour, i had a pretty good night last night. As far as how often I took the mask off, well, i still need to work on that. I still need to get a full (For me) night's sleep for that, i guess.

Guess you don't want as much help as you could get by telling us what equipment you're using (+ pressure settings).

If you FEEL you aren't, maybe you aren't. But a number of say like 4 events would be normal, depending on how serious they were.

well, I'm under that, but I'm only counting the actual sleep time i had. I still get up to go to the bathroom frequently, but I've always had that, so my overall score, counting mask removal may not be that great. Still, for my first night, it's not too bad. I'm still having the daytime fatigue and palpitations,though- I wonder when the symptoms get better?

Until you tell us what equipment you have, and until we can look at some Sleepyhead reports, there isn't a lot to say... why not give us a chance to help?

My frequent bathroom trips stopped, after my therapy was optimized. MyAir will not give you enough info to optimize your therapy. Sleepyhead will, but only if your machine is data capable. Is it?

All right- I'm just going to come right out and say that. I don't know how to do that. You want me to post my equipment here? I've updated my profile as best I can for the moment. EDIT: I've looked at my profile, and I thought I at least listed my airsense equipment, but for some reason, it's not registering, so I'll come back and post my equipment on this board., that is, if my spellcheck ever stops correcting me.

I didn't know how either, ha. There is so much to learn, especially when it's not something we ever wanted to have to learn, right?! Got to 'user control panel', toward the top, on the left.

okay, this is what I have, according to the receipt;
1)CPAP airsense 10 (I think it's elite) I'll have to check with my sleep therapist if it's data sending- it has an SD card, if that means anything.
2) resmed 37204
3) Humidifier for Airsense 10 (still not sure what kind, though)
4)Climateline air tubing, Chamber and filters (I guess you don't need to know all that stuff)
5)RES-61500/ swift FX, headgear and pillows.
One thing, I think i registered my product with My Air,, and the data for my first night's sleep still isn't up yet. They said it won't be available until after the first night of use, but now I'm starting to wonder. Maybe you guys were right about not data sending capable. This is going to be tougher than i thought.

The 37204 is the Airsense 10 CPAP model wich is not data capable. It provides very basic USE info but not what you need to optimize your therapy if you have problems. Take it back and get a full data machine such as the ELITE or AUTOSET. Preferably the Autoset because it can run in CPAP (straight pressure) or APAP (pressures vary to need) mode while the ELITE is only CPAP mode.

I think you're getting some "incorrect info" on here about the Resmed Airsense 10. Not sure why???? I have the same CPAP and it does have a card, and is data capable...Maybe not with these software programs these guys are using, but you can get all you need from My Air. Have you checked the machine to make sure there is a card in it? S/B on the left side of the machine(opposite the water container). If you're not getting the info to My Air, there must be a setting that is turned off(or that's my guess). Mine is there every day and resets about 11:30 AM daily. It will show "hours on the machine", leak rate/seal, events per hour, times you take the mask off, and then a score based on those 4 items.

My Home Health provider could even read my data remotely. When I went in for my follow up with my ENT, I took the machine, the Doc took out the card to read because he was looking at a 6 week period of time versus the 14 days that MyAir shows. Actually, I set up an Excel spreadsheet and have tracked my scores every day for the past 3 months.

Your events don't look that bad...I think "less than 5" is pretty good. However, it is going to take some adjustment time and you may not notice the improvement in how you feel. I don't seem as sleepy during the day, but it has not been one of those "Wow" situations.

Keep it up...It's been a long trip for me too!

Ok, I see the difference on the Airsense. Mine is the Autoset...

I see you finally found the difference. You have the Airsense 10 Autoset. He has the Airsense 10 CPAP different models. Check out this site. https://sleep.tnet.com/cmd.mfg

Make sure you KNOW what model it is.
There should be a model name in the lower right-hand corner of the front of the machine next to the humidifier tank.
From what I can find, the 37204 number relates to the heated/climateline hose.
Look on the bottom to see which specific model number is there, too.

Just because it has a data card doesn't mean it's "sending" data to the DME. Everything these days have data cards in them.

oooor, just look at the front of the machine, then pick the matching unit in the equipment list under the profile.
that way, you don't have to keep answering the same question over and over.

however a resmed 37204 is the crap model, AirSense™ 10 CPAP Machine with HumidAir™ Heated Humidifier, it doesn't collect any useful data. I *strongly* suggest taking it back and demanding an elite or autoset.

37204 is the resmed ordering code for "AirSense 10 CPAP tri-pack" so, it won't be on the machine, just what the DME orders to get three of those pieces of crap.
