Hi I wear the nasal mask resmed p10 I have no leaks.  I think it is my night guard that is causing my events per hour to go up. But I  need to wear my guard due to bruxism .   This grinding has caused severe tooth pain plus tmj problems so I can't be without I will keep record of my events per hour and let him know.  I am going for my second sleep study next week and I will ask them to assess with my night guard on. second

My events per hour on the machine indicates it is increasing  when I started my cpap machine a month without the guard my events per hour were under one  now with guard they are over one sometimes 2.4  per hour  I know if I am under 5 it is good but it is going up the past week   I am still not getting quality sleep I don't feel
Well rested with the exception of one week ago.
