RE: First nights OSCAR data
If it was my chart, I'd have min pressure 12, the Med in stats on column and see if that settles a few obstructions. I assume you were awake for the 15min at the end of the night.
There is also wax product for your beard, that is sold for use with cpap. To prevent what I was referring to, if you need a FFM. You will then be able to determine yourself, if there is a difference in the 95% pressure, with your beard and worth continuing to use the product. this is one [commercial video link removed - instead, search Google for "cpap beard and mustache seal"] -----

For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure. https://aasm.org/resources/practiceparam...rating.pdf

You may benefit from a higher minimum pressure but I still think you should try the cervical collar first.

I shave and the mask seals better. I haven't had a full beard, but would imagine it would be worse. I do use a more sensitive to leak machine though and a large pressure difference. Perhaps that makes it more noticable. Perhaps. But that is no reason to state that others with a beard will have the experience you "imagine" as you did here ...

Not awful for a beard down to my chest and a FFM. A couple of large leaks.. probably caused by me being a very active sleeper.. I swim!

AHI and flow limitations are really improving! Swim less, leak less? All in all, you’re doing really well. How are you feeling during the day?

Today was the best by far. I really never complained to much about feeling tired through the day before. However this morning I felt like I drank a pot of coffee and woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep. Also slept through the night for the first time in 2 years without getting up to pee. The fiancé has stayed in bed all week as well. That’s my favorite thing
