Question about breathing syncronization

Question about breathing syncronization
Hello,

I am using the Resmed AirCurve 10. Min EPAP8, Max IPAP 11.40, ps 2, cycle low, and trigger high. I am getting events during the night, usually AHI goes from 0.6 to 3 (some night I get 0,8 some others 2 or 3), depending on the night. Always, regardless the low AHI, I am waking up not rested and tired. If I sleep without the machine I wake up a bit better. Lately, I found that I have events that are not OA nor CA, like the one below. 

   

I thought it might be that my breathing was not synchronized with the machine. I have been trying different cycle and trigger options as the pressure does not seem to be an issue in these specific situations. I am also attaching the last 3 nights. 

Any clue or idea, or if you want me to zoom in somewhere, please let me know. All comments/feedback/insights are very welcome.

Your PS+EPAP is lower than your median pressure. 
I suggest increasing the PS to 3 cm. It will help you with the OAs and reduced FLs.

Your Ti Min seems a bit long at 1 second. It might force an extended inhale slightly.

Thanks, I will try.

I have been checking my past data, and even with PS 3 or 4, always min EPAP + ps is lower than the pressure median, is it normal?

Thanks, I will reduce it a bit, it was already more or less fine for me in 1 (given my past history and statistics).
