A before and after screenshot...

Sorry for the crap quality (and dodgy crop).. The top picture is more jaggy than it looks here.. Flickr's scaling made it prettier than it really is.
It's only the graph parts that have changed by the OpenGL conversion..

The Event Flags shadow is very tiny here.. not an awesome example of it, however you can just see it.. It's easier to spot at full scale.

AntiAliasing can be turned off in the menu for those who like sharper (ugly) pixels.

You'll also noticed I finally bothered to fix the y-Tickers..

The top right numbers in the line-graphs is just temporary debugging info..

That's not my pulse-ox info.. Is my cpap data though. A colorful night in the event flags..

Extremely impressive. Tho we will have to get his AHI down for him

if you need a mc plus resmed s9 tester let me know. good job

Only way to knock my AHI down is paracetamol right before bed. Have no idea why..

I've just never felt comfortable take stuff every night that has the capacity to wreck my liver.. I try to space it out and endure a few crap nights.
Paracetemol is the only thing that really works.. Aspirin & Ibuprofen don't help as much..

I've always hated Paracetemol, because it's never done much to lessen headaches for me. But this is one place where it works.. I'm very weirded out by it..

Is it possible you have pain (arthritis) which causes you to wince and hold your breath during the night?

Been checked for that stuff..
I have the full suite of CFS/FM symptoms.. Which for a guy plain sucks, because no doctor gives a crap, as I don't fit their typical patient model.. Apparently guys are just supposed to harden up and soldier on.

I've found coding to be the best treatment for it.. I sort of zone out and not think about it so much.. Still tired, foggy and in pain, but at least I'm being productive again..

Everyone should be careful to not take more than the recommended dose of paracetamol/acetaminophen/Tylenol. A relatively small overdose can damage your liver, which is really, REALLY bad for you.

Another risk is if you take multiple medications like Tylenol and NyQuil, which both contain acetaminophen. Some people with colds or flu will find they can sleep with NyQuil and take more than the recommended dose of NyQuil and also take a Tylenol. This can do major damage to your liver and other organs.

I'm not sure there's any risk to taking the recommended dose, an overdose is really bad for you. The other problem is that the ratio between dangerous doses and safe doses is small for acetaminophen/paracetamol. Most other OTC drugs have larger ratios.

jedimark, I know you're not advocating overuse. I just hear so many people overusing acetaminophen that I always speak up given the chance.

I am a Mac user but ... I don't know what a GCC compiler is

However, If I can help in any way, please let me know. Currently when I use SleepyHead I get a series of error messages but that does not appear to prevent the program functioning.

jedimark - as I look at your data, I wonder if a higher minimum pressure might help. It seems a long way from 5.5 to 8.5. Maybe raising the minimum a bit and the maximum a bit - maybe 7 cm to 10 cm. Maybe you have tried that but it 's just a thought. Do you need ramp? That's another thing I might try to get rid of soon.

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and take pain meds during the day but none at bedtime. I take the last dose about 3 hours before bed and I sleep well with a good AHI (below 1 almost always). My pressure range is 11 to 13 but my titrated pressure was 11. I rarely get to 13. My 90% is 12.

I'm not suggesting that my pressure range would work for you but, imo, your minimum and maybe your maximum should be higher and maybe get rid of ramp.

Just 2 nights are not much to go on and your 90% seems inconsistent.

Just a few thoughts. Maybe you are still being monitered by the doctor and can't change anything because of that.

I know this thread is not about analyzing your data but-----

By the way, I really like this software. it is great and, in my case, pretty darn consistent with Encore Viewer.

I am a pretty hard core Mac guy. Pretty comfortable running a compile, not good at troubleshooting the errors from a compile though

I am happy to pitch in anyway I can. I have plenty of hardware and can provide remote access to to a Mac is that is helpful.

Awesome.. Your help would be appreciated.. All you need to do is try and build it from git source code.. and report what stuffs up.

I've been dealing so much with mac build/platform issues I haven't been getting much actual coding done. A bit of chatter between mac guys on the devel list would help a lot.. I know not much about macs. (I am mainly a Linux/UNIX guy, so a lot of mac stuff does make sense.)

Join the mailing list at over at sleepyhead.sourceforge.net and we'll help you help us to get the mac build process running smoothly.
