Help with analyzing OSCAR data please?

Help with analyzing OSCAR data please?
Hello! I started CPAP therapy two weeks ago. I'm able to fall asleep with my CPAP easily but I keep removing my mask unconsciously after about an hour of sleep. Can anyone please help analyze my data? I'm wondering if there are any adjustments I should make, 2) if anything stands out, and 3) if there's anything unusual around the 23:01:30 mark that causes me to remove my mask unconsciously? I can't seem to sleep past 1-2 hours with the mask on without removing it Sad

I fell asleep for an hour starting at ~22:30:00. Please disregard the data prior to this because I was awake. 

CPAP: Airsense 11
Mask: F20 Airtouch
EPR: 3
Ramp: Off
Humidity: 3
Prescribed pressure: 8 to 12 but I reduced the min to 7 slightly 

One thing I noticed within that hour are multiple CAs. Not sure if there is something causing that. 

Thank you all for your help!

RE: Help with analyzing OSCAR data please?
Inspiratory peaks show some flow restrictions which lead to a recovery breathing immediately followed by a CA. There are also some leaks within the same period.
To address this issue, you should set your minimum pressure to 8-9 cm. This will also improve your flow limit figure.
But the number of your CAs is not concerning.

Thank you for your help. I'm using an Airsense 11. Do you think a Bilevel would be more appropriate to treat the flow limited breathing? Or do you think I can correct the issue with my Airsense 11?
