Thanks. I shall. IIRC I've done that before so there are holes in my history due to deleted attachments.
I really appreciate you answering.
Your work here is incredibly important to me!
(a work-friend and I talked for about an hour. He kept falling asleep with eyes rolling back. He has been diagnosed to have moderate sleep apnea. Yet he doesn't know how to get a machine/mask. I'm helping him and shuddering how bad our medical system is here in the Province of Ontario.)

[attachment=42175]Last night I felt ok waking up. Brain fog? Yup....
Yet I'm seeing tidal volume trace I've never seen so low. Why does it look so strange?

I wore this mask all night That's a miracle for me.
I used my home made cervical collar too.
LEAKAGE! I woke up many times making sure that my machine was on. I had adjusted the mask as well as I could. I want this to work. I would appreciate help.
Thank you.
(normal night for me is with N20, tape on lips and cervical collar)

I spent time setting the straps. Particularly the top two. I left them slacker because they were too tight.

Did this last night. I’d worn the mask for a couple of nights
1 Put mask on. Do not connect to machine
2 block the end of the 1 foot mask hose
3 Blow hard
Where does the air come out?
Top?
Lengthen top straps.
Do this all again. And again until mask doesn’t leak
Bottom of mask? Use this procedure until there are no leaks
My usual habit is to tighten straps to solve leak problems
