You don't need to post that many.  Pick one or two that best represents the total timeline.  Or, pick the normal and the worst.

Hello, when he started the CPAP, I didn't really notice snoring, except for when hes on his back. But now, he is snoring every night, for what feels like most of the night. I check and he's on his side. I don't know if there is a leak or what. I do not know what is going on. 

Here is last nights graphs. Please Help me.

34 Y/o Male, normal weight and BMI, light smoker, 1 or 2 caffeinated drinks a day, 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks a week, mouthbreather

Are you aware if your friend was sleeping on his back or side between 12:45 and 1:45?

See the string of Apneas during that time? This is called Positional Apnea, usually caused from chin tucking.  He's sleeping in a way that his head is tucked into his chest and cutting off his air... like a kink in a hose cuts off water.

Actually, this can occur whether you're on your side or back.

Positional Apnea

I think this was brought up in your previous thread.

Hi! 

I was watching him sleep, and he was not on his back. I am wondering if it is something to do with his beard because he wasn't snoring or having leaks until a month or so ago. 

But that could also be it. Tucking his head while on his side. Because sometimes it works great and sometimes he's snoring, on his side, with the mask on. 

He went to the dr and they adjusted his machine to bipap

Thank you
