Leakage

Leakage
    I would like to know if these leaks are significant. The spike at about 6am was me taking a drink/meds without switching off machine, just lifting bottom of mask so I can drink.

kind regards

RE: Leakage
Your leak rate is fine and mostly under the red line.

The few "spikes" showing on the leak graph are mask movement.

RE: Leakage
Thank you kindly.

One other question: I am having a lot of trouble staying awake in the early evening, after I have eaten. It's always a low carb meal. I have to fight to urge to sleep for a number of hours at times. If it were earlier, I'd go for a nap. I sleep about an hour and then I am fine.

This has only been a recent problem. I sleep well at night at for a long time so don't know why this sleepiness is happening.

kindest regards
