Ugh, fixed I mean. Yeah, but anyway I don't buy that argument of our esteemed senior user that pressure change itself could bump one out of one's sleep since I have abrupt pressure changes 10-15 times a minute

yeah, me too! of course, another nail in the coffin of that "theory" is this article someone posted recently:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article ... po=46.0526 wherein it says that we *spontaneously* have eeg arousals, even without cpap pressure changes, or indeed, without cpap, without apnea....

it's a compelling 'theory', but doesn't have anything much to back it up.
