Happy to hear that Choich. I'd recommend keeping everything the same and use it for at least a week. Too many changes and too soon together just confuses thing. Maybe that's all that needed changing.

Good plan! I'm not much for keeping a log but I definitely am for this.
I'd rather be supercharged than turbocharged!

That's really wise. Also, you will want to discuss the changes with your doctor / RT. Be certain they know what you changed and why. Most won't really care. But if you are able to show that WITH the change you sleep better (as demonstrated by the data graphs), then they will go with the change. If not, then you can always set whatever new unit you get as you need. But most understand that it takes some tweaking to make it all work correctly.
