Sleepyhead Question - dzwiss - 10-28-2015

When I am looking at the "Event Flags" graph and put my cursor over an apnea event mark it shows a number in parentheses. What does that number signify?


RE: Sleepyhead Question - PoolQ - 10-28-2015

number of seconds, 10 at least to even get flagged


RE: Sleepyhead Question - dzwiss - 10-28-2015

Thank you PoolQ. That is what I suspected. I am still a bit confused though. If I put the cursor over an event on say, Monday, it shows that event being say, 10 sec. It also shows every other event on that same day as 10 seconds. If I look at say, Tuesday, and put the cursor over an event that shows 15 seconds, all of the other events on that day also show 15 seconds. So, does this number actually show the length of time for each individual event, or does it show an average length for all the events on that particular day? Is it possible that all of my events on Monday are the same length and all of my events on Tuesday are a different length from Monday but the same length as each other?

When you expand your events, they all have the same number? ie not like this:

I suppose it is possible to have all the same duration.

Thank You. When I expand events I CAN see individual lengths. It does not work that way when simply placing cursor over the marks. Learn something new every day. :-)

Here is a link that can help you understand Sleepyhead software:

I'd never noticed that before, but I think it's a bug. When you place the cursor on an event it shows the number of seconds of the first event (hypopnea or apnea as the case may be) for that night. So if your first apnea was 12 seconds, they'll all show as 12. If your first hypopnea was 25 they'll all show as 25.

I never noticed that either. I just used the drop down menu under events.


RE: Sleepyhead Question - AlanE - 10-29-2015

I get the same thing in the Event Flags graph. At least all the events in the category. On some, the number changes when I move from CA to OA for example but then the OA line reads all the same. The event markers in the Flow Rate graph seem to be okay.
