Help with Optimizing Settings
#11
RE: Help with Optimizing Settings
Today's update: a little frustrating and a move in the wrong direction, but I have to remind myself that there will be better nights and worse nights, and that anything under five is still good. Better to try and focus on the things I can control. One of them is leak rate, which is worse than last night's. I'm going to double check all my hoses tonight and reseal my straps...

Anyone else use an F20? Or is there a better full face mask someone would recommend? I like the full masks because I'm a mouth breather at night.

Oops I did forget to provide the link.  Here it is.  Hmm.  Sorry, I can't get this board to take the address, so I'll spell it out on different lines, and you can put them together and search for the site:

https://www

CPAP-Sleep-Apnea-Forum.html

I copied the three lines as one thing and tried it  It works!  Smile

P.S. Your leak rate is nice and low. Don't even worry about it.

Okay, I'll try that link out. Thank you so much! And I'll try not to worry about my leak rate, haha. Last night was better than the night before. As much as I'd like to chase the almighty <1 AHI, I have to remind myself that less than 5 is good, especially given that 15 is what I started with, and that my numbers will get better as the centrals disappear.

RE: Help with Optimizing Settings
Last night's results. Again, I think this number is being skewed by the fact that I definitely remember waking up (or at least, half waking up) before my alarm went off. So I suspect the numbers after 5AM are possibly indicative of some sleep wake junk. It's a hard habit to break, but just a sign that I really need to get out of bed when I wake up, regardless of when my alarm goes off.
