So what do you need help in understanding?

What mask are you using?

When you have time please add your equipment to your profile like I have mine?

Before you can fix a leak you have to figure out what is causing it....mask movement or mouth breathing when using a mask that doesn't cover the mouth.

Have you read the SleepyHead tutorial in the Announcements section? If not, read it and then ask questions about what you don't understand.

Unclassified is just the machine telling you that it knew something happened but because it happened when a big leak was going on it couldn't decide what name to put on it.

You need to figure out why the big leaks are happening.
Either mask movement or mouth breathing.

For one night only tape your lips shut and see if that eliminates the big leaks or not.

It looks like you have CA events turned off, can you turn them back on please


Click the events switch at the bottom left of the screen and ensure all events have a green switch, any that are red are turned off
