#31
RE: My first night with my own airsense a10
Hello again,
I think it might be sweat at the seal of the mask. I red in the forum try a gasket made of an old tee shirt.  i did but I think i made it a little to narrow. I will try again tonite with a new one.  Here is new sleepyhead report

I can sure see the difference when the mask leaks. I had dental work where they removed a broken tooth and put an implant in. My face is swollen so i switched to my nasal mask. The fit test showed good. Surprise leaked in middle of nite. then look at the charts. Wow

You are going to have your good and bad nights, and you just had a bad one.  The best thing to do is analyze the possible causes and see where you can correct them.  Having major leaks for 4 hours 17 minutes out of 9.5 hours of sleep should be easier to address than the little 30 second ones.

Good luck!

I could use some help understanding charts. Fore instance the pressure chart has two lines on the graphs a red line and a green line. Also the graph that shows time at pressure has three lines. how do i read these and understand them.

Read Robysue's Beginner's Guide to Sleepyhead.  The link is also at the bottom of this post. It will tell you that the higher line is the inhale pressure and lower is the exhale pressure when using EPR. This and and many other tidbits of information are provided.

I hope this will help.

You're not the first, and won't be the last... It happens to all of us sooner or later. Some people spend the bucks for a wifi FlashAir card, the rest of us just resolve to try to do better.
