Importing SleepyHead data

If you have not migrated your SleepyHead data as part of the OSCAR installation, you may be able to copy the raw data into your Oscar data file later. Note that this will only work if SleepyHead has backed up the raw data as it's downloaded. If you don't have the data backed up, this process will not work.

Location of backup files

SleepyHead's default configuration will back up your raw data into a folder(s) in your profile directory. The typical path in Windows is

 C:\...\SleepyHead\Profiles\Yourname\Machine\Backup 

(see image below).

Copying raw data

In OSCAR's Welcome page select the CPAP Importer icon. Alternatively select File | Import Data from the menu or press Shift|F2. OSCAR will search for an SD card: If the card is found it will bring up a dialog asking if that is where you want to import the data from. If there is no card, it will try to find a data directory on the hard drive(s).

On the dialog, select Specify, which will take you to a file selector dialog. Navigate to the location of your backup data and select the Backup folder. OSCAR will then copy the raw data from the backup folder to the OSCAR data folder. If you have more than one machine in your profile, you will need to copy the data from each one individually.

Once the data has been copied across, check the Overview page to ensure there are no unexpected gaps. It is wise to validate the data transfer by viewing a few randomly selected days in both SleepyHead and Oscar to ensure the data is unchanged.
