I have the S8 Elite, and I like it, especially being able to readily check the data. If I am up in the night, I will check the numbers real quick to see how I am doing so far, numberswise. A couple of weeks ago I laid down to try to sleep but could not, so after about a half hour-45 minutes I gave up and got up. Just because I am in the habit of checking my numbers, I did so. My AI was 0.0, which I expected, but my HI was 3.3. I am very sure that I did not drift off, even for a minute. I did yawn a couple of times and flip over, but no snores, snorts or anything remotely resembling an event. I was very surprised, and now believe that the Elite is a bit on the sensitive side, at least as far as hypopneas.
