Hmmmm. The prior machines with the multiple session error had the problem confirmed when using Encore Pro.
So this is a new one for me.
Get SleepyHead 1.0. Beta and see what it shows.

Does Encore Pro also so the large amount of VS 2 snores???

I checked out Sleepyhead 1.0 beta and I saw the same results. one thing to note though is that the sessions in Oscar/Sleepyhead are 1 hour each. maybe this is how the newer machines record the data?

My Dreamstaton has the Firmware 1.1.8 and a manufacture date of 2019-04-02

No...the newer machines don't seem to be recording sessions in 1 hour segments.

Must be a glitch in the software if Encore doesn't confirm it.

Looks like you need a little more minimum pressure still yet.

Do you take any medications of any kind? If so, what?
Do you have any other physical or mental health issues going on that might impact how you feel during the day.
Is daytime fatigue the main issue that you are still having that you wish you didn't?
Or are you also having excessive sleepiness and a need to nap?
How long have you been using the cpap machine? I don't remember your past history and don't have time to look right now.
It's late and I am heading to bed myself.

Yes, I have the feeling I need to take a nap but I don't since I need to work

I am a newbie, and have been on CPAP for about 2 weeks. My untreated AHI is 43 episodes an hour, according to my wife profound snoring at night. Last night I increased the pressure to 11 (11.5 was too much). and I had an AHI of 1.33

Have a great night!

Thanks!!!!!

Take a look at your medications for potential reasons for also not feeling as good as your number might point.
Often medication comes with side effects that give us symptoms like fatigue and excessive drowsiness.
Google whatever medications you are on and dig deep in the potential side effects research...anti depressants are well known to cause fatigue, sleepiness, and even mess with sleep architecture.
Look at at least 3 sources...don't stop reading with just one google hit.
If you no longer need those meds....talk with your doctor about stopping them.

Also it's only been a couple of weeks and 2 weeks is really too soon to expect to see much change.
I know people read about someone saying they had the overnight miracle and became superman or superwoman overnight...but that's actually a minority event. Those people are just very lucky. Most people have found it took longer to feel the good numbers.

Thanks!
