My first night with a Resmed 10 Airsense after trying it out for a few days in the daytime.
My doctor said that my score on the sleep study was well over 100.
My wife said that at some point in the night she heard me snoring. Isn’t the CPAP supposed to stop that?
I have an SD card in my machine. What do I upload here to let you guys see how I did?

You would upload an image of your Daily screen. Use the F12 key within OSCAR to capture this image. It strips out everything except the OSCAR image. Please review the links in my signature for any additional help.

I think I have this correct.
Is there anything I can change to combat dry mouth?
a.

Excellent first try
Go do this in OSCAR
The chart order can be set to the recommended order in OSCAR v1.1.0+ by clicking View -> Reset Graphs -> Standard.
Should give you
Event flags
Flow rate
Pressure
Leak rate
Flow Limits

The first thing I see is a lot of your snoring is in the First 45 min for treatment which is the long Ramp time you have. I know you are new. So the "goal" is No ramp. So start cutting that back some every week. OR try turning it off some as a test.
Also your median Minimum pressure is less than 10. So you might try turning it down to 9.
Maybe you work the late shift? What caused you to go to bed so late? Looking at the 0030 area.
Others will comment. But it what I see so far.
Dry mouth could be related to all the new air passing in with cpap. Also is it very dry where you live?
FYI
You might want to change the Profile name in OSCAR to your username here. I wouldn't care but you might.

Based on what happened from 6am today it looks like sleeping on my right side is a major problem.

Looks like Positional Apnea..

I think we will need someone to confirm.
I asked someone far more knowledgable than me to confirm.
RE: Off to a good start? - Gideon - 07-22-2021
Good to question this. It is near a wake period so I would like to confirm the wake state with a 5 min view showing the transition into the clusters. But it does look like positional but we ignore all in a wake period as we optimize Sleep. That said what caused the arousal because that is bad

He is new so you might need to explain How to get the Shot you want for OSCAR.
