You really seem to be getting the hang of this judging by your numbers.  Good to see you taking matters into your own hands.  A couple things jumped out at me.

1. Your events occur most in the final hours of sleep.  That means your apnea is probably REM sensitive.  The majority of the REM sleep occurs in the last hours of the night. There is not much you can do about that, but just letting you know in case you stress about what is different about that time.
   
2. You have more RERAs than apneas.  This is common with people diagnosed UARS.  (Fancy acronym for saying you have more RERAs than apneas). If your sleep study was primarily OSA, than you don't have UARS.  If RERAs were the bigger problem, than you do.  Most people with UARS have a narrow throat.  This is important to know when treating apnea.  Long story short, purchase a firm soft cervical collar from Walmart.  3" minimum.  Wear it at night and see if your RDI gets better.  (RDI is AHI+RERAs)  By holding your head steady and slightly elevating your chin, the c-collar opens the throat wider.  
   

Good Luck

fitmart, I had been wondering why the Apneas come late and only Hypopneas come early.  Thanks for your perfect explanation.

Could you tell me what RERAs and UARS are?

You need the leaks fixed first. The machine has a mask fit function that blows higher pressure. there is the link in my signature and mask fit videos on youtube.

I would advise you follow titration protocols to adjust the machine, page 33, you basically keep raising the min pressure, till the events subside

Now I'm worried about RERA.  Yesterday it was 1.04 and today it is 8.18.  Do you know what the units are on this?  If it is 8.18 hours then that's longer than I slept.

I believe it means 8.18 events per hour.
