Waking times - what are your thoughts?

Waking times - what are your thoughts?
Hi all

Firstly, thanks to all for their assistance in starting this process. I am hoping I have the Oscar chart screenshot correct. 

Anyway, Woke up a coule of times (that I recall) during my sleep last night. Do you think it's leaks or pressure causing it based on the charts? 

Appreciate any thoughts - go for it!  Thanks

Your waking up is probably associated with the sudden pressure increases during flow limitation periods.
I suggest the following settings: pressure min/max =11/15
EPR=3, full time
Ramp off

Hi,

Looking at your most recent graph, in my opinion, the only way you will know if it is leaks or flow limitations is by elimination. 

I would suggest that the safest way is  you start with leaking, thus avoiding settings changes at this stage,  

Once leaks are controlled and eliminated, then a much clearer picture should arise, so as to focus on the settings eventually needed. 

I have posted some comments on the "Need some help reading and fine tuning therapy" thread in response to a question posted by Seepak, that partially relate to this current  thread.
