trying things is the only way to know, no harm other than the expense, but if your leaks are mouth leaks, I don't know why a pillow mask would make a difference.

I don't think what you're seeing is positional because afaik chin tucking produces obstruction and the charts you posted are showing centrals.

looks like your current priority should be getting your leaks under control.

again, other than the leaks, your charts look pretty good. consider looking beyond apnea and pap for reasons for your fatigue.

most movement in sleep is completely normal but involuntary movement like plm, which we've discussed a couple/few times in this thread iirc, cause arousals & could explain your feeling unrested despite decent charts.

however, while idk if plm presents the same for everyone, I haven't seen what I consider its telltale flow rate pattern in your screenshots.

Min pressure 12 max 14.
EPR 1
I am thinking the leaking might start due to flex between inhale and exhale.

Also, can you make min and max on your flow line be -90 to 90?  That will make close up flow snapshots easier to read and understand.

Let's get a 5 minute close up of a time you think you are asleep but the Iwatch says you are awake.

p.s. you should change the machine setting for mask type to the type you use.  Some machines do different air delivery based on the mask type, and that may trigger mask leaks.

I went to the Amazon site and left confused. The dot ca site lists a lot of tapes shipped from the US.

I went to two Shopper's Drug Marts. They were bought by Loblaws a big grocery store chain a while back. I haven't found a happy employee at Shoppers since then.  First Shoppers had about 5 different kinds of tape, and no soft cervical collars.

Second Shoppers had more tape.  No employees in sight until I checked out and the clerk was stressed beyond belief.  I intended to buy 2 rolls of tape. The cost was 1-1/2 times the price on the display shelf. I left one at the cash and bought one roll of 3M tape for $13 Canadian. That's the tape I tried. described as gentle to take off but strong. It's not convenient. I worked at 3M for 15 years, long ago.  Frankly 3M has so many products I find it hard to compare what I have to what someone else had.

Your tape sounds interesting.
