RE: Oscar Help - Analysis after 3 Weeks, Improvements!
I agree completely. The problem is positional apnea not EPR. Changing EPR will just increase flow limits and increase pressure which will NOT help positional apnea.

So can tucking your chin down toward your chest even on your side: I'll try to prioritize longer sleep periods. EPR of 3 is extremely comfortable. I'll prioritize positional apnea with trying the pillow behind the back and consider a cervical collar. I'm just curious why with no EPR I had a more nights of staying under 2 AHIs and waking up more refreshed. Thanks for everyone's help!

No way to know why you did better with no EPR, and with a small n for the number of nights with each kind of setting, those experiments aren't going to give you conclusive evidence about what to do. So for now stick with your current settings and the focus on position and sleep-time. If the pattern holds up over time, then you might want to try reducing EPR by 1 and seeing how that goes. But not yet!
