Question about SleepyHead graphs

Question about SleepyHead graphs
Hi, can someone explain the gaps I am seeing in Flow Rate and Mask Pressure and Pressure? 

Jus wondering if I should be concerned about the gaps.

Thanks in advance

(I've attached the screenshot, let me know if it's not accessible)

It looks like you turned off the machine 3 times. Maybe to go to the bathroom?

RE: Question about SleepyHead graphs
This graph shows several breaks in therapy where the machine was stopped.  The actual time therapy was stopped would be visible in a closeup, however the machine was shut down and that reset the pressure to minimum.  You may not be aware you did this, but it looks like human intervention.  There appears to be a leak spike upon startup, so the mask may have been dislodged.  Perhaps you are using Autostart, but it doesn't look like the machine shut down as a result of mask removal which would have generated a leak spike at the break. I would not rule out a power outage if your other household clocks or appliances reset.

Each of the outages follows a pressure increase. I wonder if you felt discomfort from the pressure and hit the button?

Yes, that makes total sense, I shut the machine off when I got up to go to the bathroom...

D'OH! 

Thanks, sorry I wasted everyone's time with a silly question, but I appreciate the thoughtful replies...

Mystery solved!
