RE: Waking Up - Newbie Help
Hi lowlyradar! -
2 things come to mind. The first seems to be your sleeping position may be causing some of your apneas. Please try sleeping on your side and avoid sleeping on your back. Also, try to position your pillow to avoid tucking your chin in. This can be another source of airway restriction.
The second possible cause of your arousals is pressure changes and its range. The sleeping position can affect much of the pressure change, but if you want to try and tighten up this range (currently 5.6cm), I would set your minimum to 8.0cm and your maximum to 10.0cm. This will reduce the range to only 2cm, making it more tolerable. Try these settings for a night and see if your sleep improves, and how you feel the next morning.
Please keep us updated.

hey lowlyradar,
from a distant view, there's still definitely disturbed breathing present. It's possible the machine's pressure is currently set too low. Posting some zoomed-in screenshots of some of the events will add colour to your thread. One needs to always zoom in on CAs to determine if they're truly CAs or just post-arousal CAs, too.

Hey lowlyradar! It might help to try sleeping on your side if you haven’t already; it can really change things up. And don’t be afraid to play around with the pressure settings a bit.
