Need help interpreting Oscar Data - tubebaby2121 - 09-07-2021

So I just got my resmed 10 roughly a week ago and my AHI diagnosed was about 11 an hour and my AHI has hovered from 3-4 every night with this machine, but Yesterday its reading about 9 events an hour even though I didn't do much different! I will be uploading pictures of my Oscar data in the hopes one of you helpful people can give me some insight as to what I could possibly be doing better Thanks

Welcome to the forum

What was happening before the segment you presented?

You are in this segment taking a big breath and holding it once per minute roughly. This usually signifies movement. The question is why.
A screenshot of the entire night would provide context.
How does the depth of your breathing here compare to your normal? And that of the segment before this?

Guessing may also be partly due, looks like quick afternoon Nap? may not be a true average measure, as short sleep period may multiply AHI depending on your of sleep cycle pattern's, that may contribute to the events ? if at time ? cycling, Light awakeness, Deep, Rem in such short time frame? In comparison over a full 8 hrs average may more level the AHI out ? but also can be vise a versa ? virtually in a 1/2hrs session around 14:45 to 15:15hrs then approx 1 and 1/2 with no events?

I see 1 chart Bulk of events around 1hrs 1645-1745hrs had 10 Obs & 4 CA which round figures that is for that hr equal to 14ish AHI ? then 1900-0700hrs 12Hrs without event ? and then brought down average for those hrs 1 Hr @ 14ish and 12hrs at Nil then average out at think would be the 14events / 13 Hours = Average AHI of 1.08 ?? Well I thinks that's how to simplistic of how I think it works ? Note is example of Picking and choosing, Sleep time slots? to manipulate AHI sessions.

I mostly on and off Machine particular in morning if getting restless so can isolate from solid nights sleep from last hr 2 if looking for sleep in and expect JWS ?

If then add on the extra time sleep events from where get some more from 0700hrs to 1130hrs the AHI will change again ??
