RE: New member seeking advice
I'm coming in here late; Is there a reason you turned off all event reporting except VS2?

I wasn't aware of the events feature. It must have been set by the DME.

Hi Brenda.  I'm glad you found the settings I suggested more comfortable.  In the chart below, all of the event reporting has been turned off in Sleepyhead.  Your provider cannot do that.  In the lower right-hand corner of the Daily events charts is a pull-down menu for Event Flags.  All of those should be green rather than red.  The events that can be charted are selected in the menu File/Preferences/Events.  Just check everything but the User Events.

Other than that, why is the night fragmented? There are three long breaks.

Now I remember Smile  I was supposed to turn one of them off and I turned them all off by mistake. I'll correct that. As for the sleep breaks, I have diabetic neurapathy and foot pain wakes me up. Maybe when I get the optimum settings, I'll sleep straight through (fingers crossed).

RE: New member seeking advice
Hopefully, I corrected the bugs with the screenshots. The one dated 8/24 was using the provider's initial settings which made breathing uncomfortable. The one dated 8/26 was using settings suggested by forum members. Breathing improved a lot and the event flags were fewer. The one dated 9/3 was after slightly increasing min & max PS settings for 5 days. Breathing was the best at these settings but the events increased significantly. Is there a way to increase just the IPAP pressure since my EPAP pressure is good on all settings?[Image: dm3N3Nt.png][Image: w49ZMio.png][Image: ZcwqFVe.png]
