I look at the screen on my Resmed each morning to see if the little face is red or green that indicates a leaky mask or not during the night, beyond that I go for months until I read something here or on the net that piques my interest and requires me to look at my SD card.

RE: Do u guys have this obsession?
I must be a real slacker, because I don't look at my graph from one Dr's visit to the next and they are 12 months apart.

RE: Do u guys have this obsession?
No. I may look once or twice a year. For the most part, I find the data reporting useless unless somebody is trying to diagnose a specific problem, re-titrate their pressures (which I successfully did for five years without data), or some other thing (I looked at it when I was measuring the current draw for my various machines). Other than that, it is an entertainment feature. You used the term "obsession"; I didn't.
There. I said it.

RE: Do u guys have this obsession?
Started my PAP journey in April this year. Think I had untreated sleep apnea (albeit moderate) for a few years and was suffering badly by the time I started therapy so yes I was rather obsessive when I was learning to read the SH data. I convinced myself APAP rather than CPAP was what I needed and only recently got my APAP so yes am still obsessed particularly during this break.
Reckon all this will cease come the new year when normal life activities resume.

Thanks Guys Guess I am behaving normal and I do expect me to only look at stats when sleep didn't go as well as intended.
Have a great and wonderful 2018 ahead!

RE: Do u guys have this obsession?
Being on this therapy for more than a score of years, as long as I wake up every time refreshed, I won't check the data. If not, I'll briefly look at the screen for hours and data. I may run SleepyHead once a year, if I'm bored.

RE: Do u guys have this obsession?
I'm a big curious nerd and wanted to see what data was being stored on the sd card. Sleepyhead was the first software I downloaded and it is the best. I played with it for a while and got bored. Back in September I opened the software again when I joined this forum to gather titration opinions. I'm going back to the sleep doc again in February. i thought about taking the data with me but I don't think it's necessary. The therapy is working very well. That's about all they will want to know. I used to check dream mapper daily but I have waned in that habit. I look at it couple times a week or so. Obsessed? Nah.

RE: Do u guys have this obsession?
I'm obsessed. I have kept a log from Sleephead every day since I started in September of 2015. I chart from the events tab plus AHI. I keep notes of mask and pressure changes, etc. I guess it just lets me think I have some control.
