RE: S.'s Sleepyhead Charts
Just left the new DME. The RT had a Dreamstation sitting on the desk and was ready to set S. up with it. I asked her as soon as we sat down if she would check to see if they had Autoset for Her in stock and told her it was the better machine. She complied. S. now has an Autoset for Her and she is happy. Bad news, I have to pay full price for supplies for my self because all 9f my machine experiments has knocked me out of compliance. She told me I have to "be a good boy" and "quit playing" and "use the machine" I'm "supposed to be using". I just laughed. I have to pull 30 days solid with the Dreamstation Auto to get back in the program. Good thing I have multiple wxtras for everything!

LOL, someone that tolerated a few nights on an ASV deserves some compliance slack.
Glad it all worked out as you wanted, and can't beat the Autoset For Her.
RE: S.'s Sleepyhead Charts
S. is happy with her pretty machine so I am too. Got a little more information about changing DME providers but that's another thread and another time.
No complaints.

Kudos on getting machine of choice and the wife is happy too. Hope your non-compliance doesn't get you placed in the doghouse. Credit you with being more a rebel than I had thought.

Oooheee! I love stories with happy endings! Sleeprider is right, "anybody that tolerated a few nights on an ASV deserves some compliance slack."
Hopefully you're on the frugal side and can delay getting supplies until you're back in compliance.

I'm trying to break a mask cushion through use now that you mention it. I've been keeping a cushion clean clean every day to see just how many miles I can get out of it. I'm on the 3rd month. I wanna see where it will fail. So far I think the leaks might be the demise.
And I did get a bonus today while at the DME. Some one just before my appointment brought in a M series remstar pro. The machine was handled with water in the humidifier and now the humidifier knob led blinks. RT was moving it into the can and I asked if I could have it (I needed a case for the m series I have). Machine works but humidifier doesn't. Gonna crack it open in the morning and poke around a bit. Just for giggles.

I have captured a few. Other than duplicates, all the machines are very different, not only in appearance but in functionality as well. Which gets me my next idea.
I looked at S.'s new machine this morning. She registered an AHI of 0.3. I believe that might be her low. I've got her data from the Dreamstation Auto on an SD card put away, and I'm going to collect her data off the new Autoset for a week. Thinking about doing a side by side comparison. Any ideas on how to present that information? Obviuosly it will be sleepyhead. What should I include? If y'all are interested.
RE: S.'s Sleepyhead Charts
I would think simple. Typical Daily charts. Verbiage on the two machines, and I'd put it in the review forum, (DS vs Autoset comparison)

Sounds good. I know it's a common topic among threads but I've not seen a comparison through sleepyhead.
