Downloaded Sleepyhead, quick question

3 nights with the cpap under my belt so far - switched out the wisp for the swift fx on night 2 and I think things have been better (well, no tears and I haven't ripped it off - so that's good!) I still wake up occasionally but overall, I'm falling asleep and sleeping. Like many, I don't feel any different but that's ok - I know it's a process and as long as I'm doing my part, I"m ok with it taking time.

But, I did download the Sleepyhead software and loaded my 3 nights of data - I'm off to read the various stickies and search through the board so I know exactly what I'm looking at - my question, though, is I'm just curious if there are any red flags I should be looking for? My AHI is under 1 (average of 0.77) so I know that's good - my leak rate seems to be 26.99.... The main things that I'm really going to be searching for is my VS2's and my RERA's seem high (or should I say there seems to be a lot of them) so I want to understand what all that is.

So, I was just wondering if there is anything specific I should be looking for - I find all of this really interesting but completely confusing!

Thanks!!

look at the events tab, and that will tell you what events the machine detected. That is the next concern.

Thanks Bill!

Is there a resource that would explain if anything stands out? While I had two OA events the night before, I had nothing last night But I'm curious to find out what the last two mean

Ugh - I don't know how to post it - so, last night said

Hypopnea - 5 events
Pressure pulse - 8 events
RERA's - 7 events
Vibratory Snore #2 - 70 events (?!)

You are not supposed to snore. You may need more pressure.

Also, when you have a few minutes I would suggest you view this:

This will put things in perspective for you. It helped me to understand what was going on with me.

I wish you good luck!

Thank you!! I'm off to look at it all now!
