no,it doesn't care if you're alive or not, but if it did, it would tell by watching the variations in flow as you breath.

allegedly, what it's doing is seeing if your near perfect breathing can be improved by a pressure increase, and finding that it's no better, it drops the pressure back down.

whenever your breathing is less than regular, it won't do the test, which some people say makes sense, however, logically, to me, the time when things aren't perfect would be when the machine should try to make them better....

Seems insane. Can't help but think that these changes disrupt sleep...

well, if you buy into the 'pressure changes disrupt sleep' then you should switch to cpap mode.

on the other hand, you could zoom in and examine your breathing patterns when those happen, and see if there's any disturbance.
