I woke up several times with a dry mouth and a feeling of suffocation. I'll post again tomorrow.

You show an AirSTART machine in your equipment--similar name/different company.
If your Airsense 10 Autoset is no longer on the selection list, you may do as I have done;
and show your machine in text form under "Additional comments".

You raised your minimum to 9, but you haven't started using EPR. I think it's worth trying if you're willing.

It'd be very helpful if you would let us know how well or badly your slept when you post a chart.

edited my cpap. I think I made a mistake in activating it, I will change it to EPR level 1 cmH2O and EPR Always. With today's screenshot I found myself very tired and sleepy as if I had not slept. Tomorrow I will post the screenshot and my appreciation, greetings friends

I have incorporated the Resmed climate control tube into my therapy.I woke up to a significant leak in the morning. I controlled it by adjusting the mask. The dream has been with vivid dreams and when I wake up I feel more rested than the night before last

It's good to hear you had a better night. I recommend that you stick with these settings for another two or three nights, then raise your EPR to 2 and your minimum pressure to 10. I'll be curious to learn how that goes.

The more you can fix your leaks, the more restful your sleep will be, I suspect.

It's fairly common to see more CAs with the introduction of EPR. They tend to come after breathing that indicates you're experiencing an arousal, either from sleeping to waking or from a deeper sleep to a more shallow sleep. I don't myself think of such CAs as themselves a problem, though the arousals can be.

How rested did you feel after this night?

Hello, sorry for not translating the previous post. I felt like I always did four hours after having slept seven hours, I had to go to sleep for another hour and thirty minutes to be rested.I am aware of the awakenings caused by the mask

My personal experience is that my flow limits are up when I am congested.

I use an Olbas(menthol inhaler) and plenty of humidity. It’s like stepping into the hot shower and sinuses open up. Once opened I turn on the pap and usually good to go most of the night.

Perhaps adding in humidity might balance out the flow limits.
