User flags #1 & #2 DO THEY MEAN ANYTHING - car54 - 11-27-2020
I turned on the user flags on OSCAR #1 is a 80% reduction for 10 seconds and #2 is 80% reduction for 5 seconds.
I have 42 of the #1 and 179 of the #2. Should these be ignored? Just curios.

I don't use the user flags and think they are more of a distraction. If you have some plan to use them, that's fine, but I don't bother with it for myself, and mostly ignore them when posted by others. FWIW, I think there is too much data obsession already, and I don't even know what the significance of these events might be.

seconded, I researched these years ago and fine that the standard data is finje.

I third the suggestion to ignore user flags, when I see them enabled on a screenshot it indicated to me the user is obsessed with data rather than focusing on the matter at hand which is getting effective sleep

depends on how you look at it. a reasonable opposite conclusion may be drawn:
I've never set a user flag & while using them might indicate a data 'obsession', one might instead be motivated to use them when optimized settings & acceptable ahi don't produce that restful sleep we're all after.
similarly, my wife probably thinks scouring my data every day for 4 years is obsessive; I would say it's been necessary, driven by a long slow long struggle to reach a point where I feel like treatment is working.
just sayin', obsessive for some, but others may legitimately feel the need to dig deeper.
