Noob question

Post by donb123 » Wed Sep 09, 2020 9:37 am

Greetings.

Noob here.

I have a Resmed Airsense 10 Auto CPAP with humidifier - if that is relevant. I am using a Phillips Respironics Whisp nose mask. Wearing it is mildly uncomfortable but I've slept through hurricanes and all kinds of stuff. I don't feel like it is anything that would keep me from sleeping. I'm looking into one of the more comfortable options like the Dreamwear or N30i though.

My dilemma is this. I have not been able to go more than 2 hours- including falling asleep time- without waking up and being awake enough or irritated about something enough that I take the mask off and then fall asleep without it. How can I figure out what is causing this. I would imagine auto-ramp has already gotten me up to gale force winds by that kind of time frame- especially when my devices has, sometimes, already detected an apnea event.

Thanks!

I don't have anything yet. I'll need to get an SD card in there etc. This app is pretty sweet though.

Thanks for taking the time to respond!
