I would lower the min. pressure a by 1cm and see what happends, since Bleep doesn't leak like Eson does

the numbers were off the charts for myself I always hover around a AHI of 1.
hyperbole much?
Well I had a pretty restless night with the bleep but A Hyperbole I am not
Most reasonable people would not call an AHI of 3 'off the charts' or 'horrible.'.

What I find interesting is that your Leak Rate for the Eson held a leak rate of 9 for 95% and 15 for Max.

But the Bleep’s Leak Rate was 0% for 95% and 6 for Max.

Doesn’t sound like a Bleep Problem. Sounds like a something else problem or a you problem. Cause the numbers don’t lie, and you posted them...

The OP said the numbers were bad *for him* and I understand his perspective. They were about double what he is used to seeing. He also reported an unrestful night.

But as others have said, when a number of variables change at once, that can make it hard to figure out what is responsible for what. Also, a night or two, or ever three, doesn’t make a trend.

So all in all, maybe some further careful attention to possible problems and solutions would be helpful, without placing too much weight on the experience away from home. Two questions:

It looks as though mouth leaks were a problem on 6/4. OP, any idea why?

Also, were you feeling suffocated at the lower pressures on 6/4? If so, I wonder what you and the resident experts would think about returning to auto mode with a higher minimum pressure.
