Re: I'm not getting enough sleep now.

It's doing that because you're still using Windows XP. Upgrading should net you 1 hour per version number. Sry, couldn't resist. For what it's worth, this newbie can't get past at most 6.5 hours nowadays and more recently sleep a total of two 2.5 hour blocks nightly separated by intermission between...

Re: Newly diagnosed from Seattle

Thanks for all the warm welcome! I technically don't live in Seattle-proper (Sammamish) myself but, yes, it's easiest for out-of-towners.. And I work in downtown, which reminds me my first panic attack was during gridlocked afternoon traffic on 5th... not the best of places to have one of those. As ...

Re: Airsense 10 faulty machine?

Good point, didn't think of printing out the data as I figured they can read the SD card much like I could. But yeah, just in case, I'll print it out for the appt. Also, my 95% is around 9.5 so I guess that's a number I'll be discussing with the doc.

Re: Airsense 10 faulty machine?

Thanks for the added pointers. I'm still figuring this all out and didn't want to get ahead of myself (not to be confused with not doing research) but I will definitely bring all this up with the doc if he does not. And for sure, I'll post updates and possibly success stories!

Re: Airsense 10 faulty machine?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I juuuuuuuuuust checked out Sleepyhead and WOW, that's like a statistician's nirvana right there. Just amazing. So the bottom line is this, it wasn't faulty hardware but a faulty user. So by looking at the data, it looks like I normally range anywhere from 6 to ...

Re: Airsense 10 faulty machine?

Thanks for the feedback and recommending the software you mentioned, I think I'll be doing that tonight. As for "testing" the machine, no, I was not holding my breath or anything like that. I woke up to it being 9 psi, turned it off, turned it on, was breathing normally trying to fall asleep, machin...

Re: Airsense 10 faulty machine?

Thanks for your quick response. Yes, the machine is set on the default 4-20/not set at all (semantics...). Also, I have not had a titration study, didn't even know what that was until i just googled it. My original sleep study was a "take home test", which basically just calculated my ahi after the ...

Airsense 10 faulty machine?

Hi all, I just started with my very first machine (airsense s10) a month ago and am using a nasal pillow. I've come to the point where I think I'm getting used to the machine but the last 3 nights have left me confused. My machine is set to auto from 4 to 20 psi. Up till 3 nights ago, I've had no bi...
