Any ideas on what is keeping me waking up?
This is my 12th day on treatment.

Im on a Resmed S10 autos with Resmed F30i mask... I started using this mask on day 4.

Any additional info I can tell is that I had to use 0.125mg of alprazolam (xanax) to be able to sleep... but yet I got awake about 2 hours from start sleeping... and so on

My two pence is your pressure is too low. Try this…

Mode APAP
Min pressure 7
Max pressure 11
EPR 3 full-time
No ramp

That should help you settle into a range that is comfortable and we can help adjust things from there.

Your min of 4 is to low for adults, that low of a setting is normally for children.   Try a min of 7 and see how that does for your sleep.

Your saw-toothed pressure graph may be the problem. All the pressure swings are causing arousals. To test this theory, turn off the Ramp, and set your pressure to 8 cm, both min and max. Leave your EPR set to 3 - Full-time.
