Resmed 10 Sleep report length and tracking question

You don't know what a good night vs. a bad night (via changing settings or even by not changing anything) was if you look at an average over a long time. Use OSCAR which lets you do that, vs. argue a point which would be the same problem for anything with variables.

For example if your AHI was 20 every night for the most recent month due to having changed things willy-nilly (or some other failure mode) but was 0.5 every night for 11 months before that, your average for a year would be 2.125 which is not all that bad. But the most recent day, week or month is still 20, which means your lack of specificity has actually masked changes for the worse. 

Leaving it at daily and writing down the results each morning could do something (with excel etc.) using math to work out averages but sounds like doing what OSCAR does, with (much) less data and a lot more work. Why do that?

Your report question of 8 hours that later becomes 5 minutes...

In the UK where you are, is it possible you sleep past noon? Take a look at your CPAP. Find the time. What is it compared to your local?

Plot the time you slept that night. If the time you slept overlaps noon, that session was cut into 2 segments.

ResMed should still follow a reporting day as noon to noon next day.
