I found this while searching for something else and this is very interesting to me, because a great deal of my symptoms come from REM and deep sleep deprivation. I had always assumed that the brief periods of NO leakage might be REM due to REM paralysis (I flop around and get "toothy" leak lines almost all night except for a few flat periods, now that I'm sleeping better with the machine).

I really liked the Variable Breathing (not the same as Periodic Breathing) data that was made visible in Skinner's Encore Pro Analyzer (and the My Encore program as well, apparently) but now that those two have not been updated to work with current machines, I am really really wishing the Sleepyhead developer(s) might consider throwing it in. It would be the best Christmas present ever!

It's all reading tea leaves, outside of a lab, but that seemed like the closest I could get and it lined up to how I felt in the morning as well.

How could "Variable Breathing" be included in the stats when the current machines (that use SD cards) don't record it?
If it's not in the recorded data, it can't be included in the stats.
Besides, nobody could ever figure out what the "Variable Breathing Fraction" could be related to......what the various percentage numbers actually meant in relation to our sleep.
If you like to track the VB stats, stick with the old Legacy and M Series machines and don't upgrade.
