Night Hours

[DreamWarrior]

I'm working three 12 hour days every week and they're from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. The hours I sleep are very different from those who have regular shifts. I have reason to believe that my cpap machine resets the time I use my cpap machine at either 11 a.m. or 12 p.m. but I'm asleep from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. I do believe the reset causes the machine to stop recording my hours after either of those hours. Can anyone tell me how to program it to reset my hours at 12 a.m. rather than at noon? Thanks in advance.

Hi DreamWarrior! -

A Resmed's day is from noon til noon the net day. Most shift workers set the CPAP's clock back to keep the sleep data in one day's reporting. Since you probably don't go to bed until about 6 AM, I would set the clock back about 8 hours. That way, the CPAP thinks you went to bed at 10 PM.

Remember, it's not when you actually slept, but the total number of hours.

Hi,  I am running into the same thing. I work overnights and I don't go to bed till 8 or 9 in the morning. So the machine records time in the morning for one day and the at noon and then records its for the next day for the afternoon hrs. whats bad is when the weekend comes I dont always sleep in the morning so there is no hours recorded.  Its weird. I let my Dr. know about my work schedule and they have to understand and deal with it. If you come up with a solution and set your machine clock back let me know how it works and how to do it. Thanks
