Normal flow rate or no?

Hi guys,

Does this flow rate graph look normal to you? It is consistently like this throughout the night. I still struggle with sleepiness so I think something is affecting my sleep.

This is zoomed-out data from the night.

Although there are some bumps here and there and FLs, the curves are not particularly concerning. 
I am not familiar with your instrument's hardware settings, but I would increase the pressure difference between EPAP and IPAP to reduce FLs and Hs by increasing IPAP.

On my instrument I can only adjust min, max pressure and softPAP(which is alike to EPR) - 2, 1 and off.

It was set to 2. I have now disabled it, and this is the new data:

   
   
   

I'm still seeing these notches which look like FL to me, but oscar is not measuring them as FL. Should I increase my min pressure?

[G. Szabo]

If you can only adjust the Min/Max, I suggest steering the min to 8 cm, max to 12 cm, and softPAP to 2.

Why softPAP to 2? Won't it induce more FLs?

[G. Szabo]

If softPAP is like EPR, then you should increase it because it mitigates FLs in the auto regime. NB You used it earlier, too. And now, you have been suggested to increase your minimum pressure simultaneously.

I'd love to also hear other's opinions on this. I've been experimenting with all kinds of different settings, but nothing seems to give me consistent good quality sleep.

I swear something must be wrong with the therapy.

I was also advised to get a Bi-Level, and that's something I've been considering but I just don't know if it will work for sure.
