Suddenly waking up multiple times a night!

Suddenly waking up multiple times a night!
       
Hi guys,

I've been waking up randomly multiple times a night, and I have difficulty going back to sleep.  My wife says that she hears air blowing into my face.  I'm really not doing anything differently.  Can someone help?  Attached is my latest OSCAR data.

Thanks!

RE: Suddenly waking up multiple times a night!
You do have some leaks. That's what your wife probably hears.
I'm assuming your mask is moving or you need a replacement cushion.

The leak rate isn't high enough to affect therapy, but it may be what's waking you.

RE: Suddenly waking up multiple times a night!
EmaNTD,

A couple of things always wake me up
  1. Mask leaks.  I always hear the slightest leak and wake up.  Finally got just the right adjustment and only a small quick leak occasionally.
  2. Frequent pressure changes.  I raised my pressure settings higher than they needed to be to reduce the frequent pressure swings.  Now my pressure graph stays almost flat.
YMMV...
