F12 is doing something weird and cutting the image off, so I just compressed a regular screenshot of the zoomed in portion + other plots. Is this what you mean?

My bad, I don't know which other plots you want to see. Although the snore plot is essential, it's completely empty, so I didn't include it.
Those flat tops are a small amount of residual flow limit. I might be inclined to increase EPAP rather than pressure support, although there is no call for any of it. All of these close-ups are in proximity to the only events flagged, and during a period of declining pressure. It's not a complete picture. Are you sure, the pressure support of 5.4 is not part of what disrupts your sleep?

I don't think it's the pressure support, but to be 100% honest, I don't really have any idea why my sleep has been so terrible with therapy. It's possible that it's leak related though - I just thought to rescale the y-axis on the leak plots and found that a lot of these respiratory disturbances coincide with leaks. I've been trying to get the leaks down, and switched from the amara view to the F20 recently, but I guess I still haven't figured that out so well.
Guess I'll try to nail that down, and possibly come back with more info if should that not resolve it.
