Low AHI, still tired/brain fog
Hello all, I have been struggling with a poor nights rest for years, as well as brain fog. I forget what I'm about to type/do, can't hold things in my head, etc. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea with an AHI of 13. Not high, but my symptoms makes it feel like it'd be much higher. For the last month, I've been using a CPAP and trying to find a optimal setting. I've tried 6,7, 7-13, 8-14, 10. My AHI has been low during all of this. Yet I still wake up tired, not wanting to do anything etc. I will insert some screenshots of my Oscar data. What settings should I change? My leak rate is crazy and I've been trying to get it under control (bought a CPAP pillow, adjusting my mask) but it doesn't really help. Still high. I know that it contributes to my sleepiness since I remember waking up half asleep to fix my mask. I do have facial hair but just a little more than stubble. I do wash my face before bed. Please help, it's ruining my life.

RE: Low AHI, still tired/brain fog
I don't think you are that far off. The only thing I would change right now is the EPR. you already have it set to full time now set your EPR to 3... I think that will help you.
