Re: First Sleepyhead Post
The good news is that I slept, woke up with energy, and I think I finally got the screenshot right. Also, the flashair data transfer worked! Bad news is that the AHI is still too high. I understand the pressure graph now, and I'll be making adjustments as I go along. Which graph should I be learning...

Re: First Sleepyhead Post
So I survived the night. The doctor and the DME had said "Elite" many times, but yes, it's an Autoset, says so on the front of the machine, of course. I slept comfortably. However, I can see that my AHI is still much too high and that I will probably need to increase my pressure from 8/16, maybe to ...

Re: First Sleepyhead Post
Thank you Thank you Thank you! I'm going to raise my pressure to 8-14 now, and go up to 16 tomorrow, probably. I'll go over the Imgur settings before I post another screenshot, too. I tried a few masks and settled on the Amara View hybrid. I'm not a mouthbreather, but the pressured air leaks out my ...

First Sleepyhead Post
I hope this is the place to post this. If not, I promise to do better next time. I'm about six weeks into CPAP use, and I had my first follow-up visit with the doctor this week. I was sick for about half the month (bronchitis) but I'm better now, using a great mask (Amara View) and finally getting s...

Re: Brand New and Troubled by last nights Data
Thank you all for this excellent thread. I'm about one month in (and I've been sick for half of that) and I pick up new bits if what I need to know every day, all from cpaptalk. I can't believe that neither the doctor nor the DME tells you about Sleepyhead or how to read your data or anything beyond...

Re: My story and some questions
I'm new here, too - I got my machine 12/30/15. I didn't clean or soak anything at all before using it, nobody told me to. I set it up the way the DME guy showed me and started using it. I haven't cleaned the heated hose yet, I'm wondering if I soak it, will it be ready to use by bedtime? And the hea...
