CPAP User for 1 year, can rarely manage to keep it on for 3+ hours - mauricez - 12-27-2024 Hey everyone, First time posting here. First time using oscar actually to analyze my data. The main issue i have is that it's really tough for me to keep my mask on for over 3 hours.  I'm using a ResMed 11 with these settings: - AutoSet on - Pressure range: 8-10 - Ramp time: off - EPR on, full-time - EPR level: 3 I use nasal pillows as my mask (Resmed Airfit P10). I've attached my charts from oscar for the past 3 nights. Is there anything that looks off? Thanks!! RE: CPAP User for 1 year, can rarely manage to keep it on for 3+ hours - mauricez - 12-27-2024 Here's another chart for a rare night where i kept my mask on for ~8 hours.

Two, have you considered changing to a nasal or full-face mask, as pillows at higher pressures can produce some discomfort? I am sure other forum members will provide additional commentary.
