Attn: Bleep DreamPort mask users who want some free ports

Stuart is offering a month of free ports to Bleep users who have switched from some other mask to the Bleep and currently use OSCAR software.

If you will email a copy of your overall statistics page (change it to monthly view from standard view) from OSCAR to him and tell him what mask you used to use and when you switched to the Bleep...and your current name and address...he will send you a month's worth of ports for free.
If you can draw a line at approx the date you started with the Bleep then draw it before you send it...if you don't know how just include the date in your note to Stuart.

his email address stuart@bleepsleep.com

So the one statistics page, when you started using the Bleep and what mask were you using prior to using the Bleep.
Obviously he is doing some data tracking and that one page contains all that he needs for the most part and if there is a question he can ask you via email....and you can get a month's worth of free ports.

Make sure to take a screen shot of the entire page though...don't cut anything off.

Cool. Does it have to be Oscar? I still have that other one installed. Lazy . . .

Doesn't have to be OSCAR. You can use SleepyHead's statistics page if you wish. Visually they are essentially the same.

Apparently Stuart is wondering if we can make a note that will show up in the statistics page as to when we changed masks and I don't think there is any way to make that change like I think he wants but let me work on it tomorrow when I have some time.
It could have been noted in the past maybe with a slight change in settings so it would show up as a settings change but I don't know any way to do it retroactively.
And notes that we might have made on an individual night simply aren't part of the statistics page...and I never did notes anyway with any mask I have ever tried. Just too lazy and figured it wouldn't ever be needed.

If we could add date filters to the stats page that would do it. It would be a pretty simple change. Just put in a starting and ending date and calculate only the days that fall in the range. Most of us probably know when we started using them.

That sort of stuff is above my pay grade. I don't do coding stuff. It does sound like something that would needed to be done with OSCAR itself though. Something we would need to petition the OSCAR code writers to help out with.

I did a quick look last night and I don't see anyway to give Stuart exactly what he wants with just the statistics page.
We might could get an idea by doing a specified overview graph kind of thing with specific date ranges selected but that's a lot of work and I know Stuart is wanting to compare leaks and AHI before and after starting with the Bleep. My AHI is always screwy so it's zero help..I get way too much SWJ flagging going on to rely on it for much of anything. Now leaks with or without the use of the Bleep might shed a little more light because the difference is/was more pronounced but then even with the Bleep eliminating mask movement leaks I know I still mouth breathe on occasion. I love Stuart to death but not enough to want to tape my mouth again every night.
I don't mouth breath every night and when I do it's not a lot and it doesn't wake me up and I already know that taping my mouth does disturb my already fragile sleep so I just don't want to go down that road again.

If you know the date just use paint or a similar program and put it on the screenshot...

That was my thought but I think Stuart was hoping for a more clearer demarcation line and I don't see any way to do it.

I guess we could draw a line, but it would be anapproximate. I'm not sure if that would satisfy his need...

Shameless bump.

The Overview tab has a place at the bottom to select Custom and enter dates. I tried before and after shots to see if that will help him.

When you do the Statistics page...change it from standard view to monthly view before you take the screen shot.
If you can draw a line at the approx date where you started using the Bleep...do that before sending to Stuart.
If you don't know how...just include the start date with your note to Stuart and the image.

Changing from standard to monthly view....down at the very bottom of the page lower left corner is where you do that.

It doesn't go back far enough. I've been using it more than a year.

I would be having the same problem but I think the way you did it with the overview graphs gets him close.

I don't know of any way to change the date on the Statistics page.
I can't even get the overview graphs to show up for me back when I made the switch. Not that I need to get them to Stuart as he got mine long ago. Mine were not all that remarkable though....only thing that really changed much was the leak rate stuff.
My AHI and pressure needs haven't really changed much. I wouldn't expect them to change much though and have already warned Stuart about my AHI as it is always 75% SWJ due to my tossing and turning and pain related stuff. Plus I had been using a nasal pillow mask already so going to the Bleep wasn't that big of a change. Now if someone went to the Bleep after using a full face mask or maybe an over the nose cushion mask we might see more of a difference in pressure needs.

For the people who switched to the Bleep within the last 12 months...doing the statistics page in monthly mode gets Stuart close enough.
For those who made the switch over 12 months ago...get with me and I will explain how to get the bulk of the information Stuart wants with the overview graphs. It does involve more work though and I can't figure out how to get average pressures using the overview graphs.

Posting this hoping Stuart reads it.

I wanted to try the Bleep mask. So I looked for it on a few Canadian sites. None stocked. I then sent my preferred CPAP site an email asking if they intend on stocking it.

Within about 15 minutes, they responded indicating they've tried to get some but can't.

Here's the email I received:

Hi Xxxxxxxxxxxx,

Thank you for your inquiry. We have reached out to this company before however unfortunately currently they only sell to U.S. businesses, and we are unable to purchase this mask from them as a Canadian retailer.

Should you have any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us again!

Thank you and have a great day,

Xxxxxxxxxx
