During the ramp period you don't get FL graphs. You don't get other flagging either. So you don't really know what happened or didn't happen during ramp.
Unless you are using the Smart ramp thing that is supposed to sense if are asleep or not and increase the pressure sooner.
That's assuming it guesses correctly from your breathing pattern that you are asleep.

So the Flow limitation graph not doing anything until ramp is done...normal.
And here she is - someone more knowledgeable. Thanks Pugsy! :D

No pretty pictures for last night, due to sleep-deprived leaving-the-SD-card-on-the-couch syndrome.

I worked really hard on leaks - and failed. Hubbyhead reported hissing sounds at various times in the night. After the recent software update, Hubbyhead engaged the reach-over-and-waggle-the-hose feature, which apparently made the hissing stop. I think the Bleep is struggling at the high pressures when the ports are torqued in the QR catches because the hose catches on the bedclothes. because

I woke several times and checked for mouth leak. My tape is not staying fixed. I could blow air out of my mouth. I purchased different tape today and will continue to experiment.


The leaks cannot be too high, however, because MyAir gave me 20/20 for mask seal.

This is when I would say if the leaks weren't waking you or your husband up I would just shrug my shoulders and move on.
But when they disturbed anyone....not good.
Let's see what happens with a different tape.

Here's what I do because of my beard - sloppily applied, but you get the idea. The 3 extra support pieces are what made the difference for me. Maybe this will give you some ideas.

Sounds like hubby is a light sleeper. How does he feel about ear plugs? :lol:

to me, that just cries out for a scunci or some such headband over the top, to keep it all securely in place.
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

At least I didn't hit you with the entire package! I showed a little kindness. :lol:

I do still wear the scunci ovet it. Muffles the leaks when they happen.
