My Sleep will get better

My Sleep will get better
    Just found this forum this morning and OSCAR... much happier with OSCAR then MyAir. Got my Airsense 11 on the the 24th and used it for the first time on the 25th, defiantly less sleepy during the day and i know I need to work on the leaky mask issues. But would like any other in-sites i can get.

You might want to set your minimum pressure to 12 cm for a smother pressure ride and EPR=3 to reduce flow limits. Also, turn the ramp off.
Your leaks compromise treatment. You should adjust your mask straps—a tighter one is not necessarily better—or select a different mask.
The standard response is usually better for males than the soft one you set.

RE: My Sleep will get better
okay i have not made the recommended changes yet, but will tonight i wanted to get the leaks taken care of, and so far the last two nights have been leak free. though the mask is much tighter then it should be, but that is probably due to my full beard. I plan on changing the time in my machine once i have my two week review with the Doc.  here is the last two nights charts.

Indeed, the leaks are taken care of. However, the exceptionally high flow limit still needs the suggested alterations.

Keep increasing, your flow limit is unacceptably high.
