Help - not feeling rested in the morning!

Help - not feeling rested in the morning!
I've been having trouble with getting a good night's sleep, even with the CPAP - I've been trying to adjust the settings, and sometimes they do result in a better night's sleep, but after a few days sleep quality deteriorates again.  HELP!

PS attaching the last 2 nights' readings...

I suggest the follwing setting alterations.
Pressure min/max 12/14 cm. EPR=3 full time, and ramp off.

RE: Help - not feeling rested in the morning!
Thanks G. Szabo!

I tried as suggested over this week, and definitely feels better in the morning, however there is still some grogginess.  Also noted that later on in the day I'll feel quite sleepy and doze off on the sofa on occasion!

Attaching the last 3 days of data for reference.

Any further ideas for tweaks?

Thank you!!

I am happy for you.  
To reduce your OAs, you should increase the min/max pressure to 13/15 cm while keeping the other settings the same.

RE: Help - not feeling rested in the morning!
Thanks for all the help so far!  I'm still on the above settings, but I've been feeling quite tired in the morning (though not as bad as when I started - small victories!), and over the past few days in the evening I've been dozing off when watching TV etc.  Uploaded the past 2 days of data - any ideas?

Your pressure is still a bit low, leading to OAs. I suggest trying Min/Max 14/16 cm and EPR=2 settings.  
It would be best to reduce the leaks because of some of the triggered events.
