R these good numbers?

Hello everyone,
I just checked on my morning numbers and saw this:

Press: 7.2
Leak: 0.00L/S
AHI: 1.2
AI: 0.0
HI: 1.2

I think this is pretty good but wanted some second opinions on my numbers----thanks!!
Carrie

They are great numbers! On a Resmed, most of your AHI is made up of Hypoapneas (HI) which are not as bad as AI (full Apneas). You want your AHI below 5 and, since Resmeds "overreport " HIs, you are maybe even below an AHI of 1.2. With a 0.00l/s leak rate and these other great number, how are you feeling? The numbers show you should be feeling great since your sleep apnea is well managed!

Hi Hawthorne---
Yes, I do feel great this morning!!! I am just getting over a bad cold so I felt like I slept pretty good last night and when I checked my numbers, I was surprised that they were so low. I did sleep longer than I usually do and I feel like I am energized now--LOL! I only hope that I can maintain these numbers. thanks for responding

Carrie

Of course they are great numbers.

Even more important:

Awesome! How long was your usage?

Hi--I slept 9 1/2 hours!!! I usually do not sleep more than 7 to 8. I am off work today as I took a vacation day. I did have a small drink last night with some Maker's Mark in it!! LOL! I wonder if that is why I slept so well??? Not recommended to have this at bedtime every night tho----ha!!ha!! I guess in this case--it was considered "medicinal"----

Many people report sleeping better when they don't have work the next day.

I'm retired and mostly only do what I want to. But even then, I sleep better when there is nothing scheduled the next morning. I think contributing to better sleep is a sense of relief knowing that if you have a bad night you can catch some extra Zs in the morning. When I have something scheduled the next morning, even something fun, I feel pressure to get a good night's sleep. Of course this backfires.

Can you have a leak of 0? I thought you would always have leaks associated with how much each mask is designed to leak. The leaks stop you from rebreathing your own CO2.

The machine she has deducts the vent rate and arrives at a true leak rate.

Our M-Series machines report the total leak rate which is "designed vent rate plus unintentional leaks".

Hi--I always seem to have a leak of zero---since I got my new Swift LT. LOVE that mask---it makes all the difference to have a great mask that I can sleep on my side with.

I guess having the day off from work helps too---like the previous person suggested. I used the AYR GEL last night too --so I do think that gel helps in keeping the leaks down.

Good to know.

I really like my Swift LT, too, sleeplessinaz.

Hey--thanks Beam and Rooster!!! The Swift LT is the best one invented so far that I have used. I do have the OPTI LIFE for a backup --but I love the LT much better for side sleeping. Some day when I am retired Rooster--I hope to sleep pretty well!! LOL! I have about 12 more years to work yet---I am only 55---

I did it at 56 because I was wasted by years of undiagnosed sleep apnea. It is good to hear that you have things under such good control.

9 1/2 hours with that AHI is great! Gotta agree on the mask; so far I'm pretty happy with it.

R they good ?

Eat yer heart out everyone

They are downright excellent - probably better than most folk without OSA

The Resmeds will nearly always show some HI number due to how they record their data - very good !
