Events per hour last night
Hi. I noticed after one hour of sleep on my machine it was eight and during the night it went down. In the am it was 2.2. Now I wore it agin for 15 mintes because I wanted to sleep more after I woke up and it went down a bit. Is
it calculated for your total hours . I got worried when I saw an 8 I am still not clear how it calculated events per hour. Also last night after that one hour of sleep which wasn't a good one I thought I slept
for hours is that normal I am also wondering if events per hour went up because I was talking with my mask on and machine on ,Does this have anything to do with high number. I had no leaks . I generally don't like to check my machine in the evening .
RE: Events per hour last night
IT is the total (OA + CA + Hypopnea) divided by the total hours of use.

Is this normal that one hour I have 8 and then I am at 2.2. Is there something wrong with my machine. When I first tried when I would wake up it was always under one during the past two weeks I have been seeing variation I am now wondering if my sleep apnea is under control
RE: Events per hour last night
AHI is averaged. It is normal to have different readings hour to hour and day to day.
The only way you know what's going on is to download #SleepyHead software and learn how to track your therapy.
RE: Events per hour last night
It is quite common to have a lot of events when you are falling asleep. If it weren't for that fact I would have had a few 0 AHI nights.
. If you really want to know how well you're doing you will need to download SleepyHead and look at your results. I know this has been suggested before, but if you want to do it, someone here would help you install and interpret the results.

Thank you Dave I am currently using iPad and don't have access to computer or laptop. When I have one i I will ask. I guess it never happened when I fell asleep fast woke up thinking that I slept so long and then looked at my machine how many hours Does talking with mask on and machine on raise the events per hour

RE: Events per hour last night
One more thing, do you have an SD card in your machine? If you don't, get one at Walmart or wherever Any size over 2GB will work, I think 8 GB is the smallest you will find and should cost about $10.00. Just ask for a Standard SD card. Then you will be ready with some data when you get SleepyHead installed.
I don't think talking would do anything, but if you don't breath for a long time while talking who knows.

Yes it is in the machine but don't have access to computers
RE: Events per hour last night
You could bring or mail your card to someone who could post your charts, all the information needed to get started is on it.

I have never seen it that high I am concerned about that . I thought over 5 concern but when I woke up events per hour was down but I guess it is averaged I normally sleep 5 to 6 hours so this number of 2.2 would have been much higher
