[CPAP] New CPAP User - Reviewing OSCAR Data

New CPAP User - Reviewing OSCAR Data
Hi, I've been using a CPAP machine for about a week now. I did a take home study in February and my results were 29/h AHI, 201 recorded events over 7 hours which were all obstructive. I'm not sure if this is needed but including it just in case - low Spo2 was 72%, time spent under <90% SpO2 was 6.9 minutes during my home study. 

I purchased my machine out of pocket this whole process of getting diagnosed and getting a machine has been taking a long time. It takes about a month to get an appointment with my doctor and the DME called me last week to let me they suspect 3 - 4 months before they can get me a machine. I am using some recommended settings that I found in another post on the forum which should also be on the screenshots. Overall I feel like I'm waking up more refreshed and am waking up less during the night. It'd be greatly appreciated if anyone can look over my information and let me know if there is anything of concern or have suggestions on tweaking my settings. I've attached the last 3 days of OSCAR data.

Another question - is there a way to change the time range that OSCAR / MyAir uses to count as a day? 

Thanks

RE: New CPAP User - Reviewing OSCAR Data
The machine's day runs from machine noon to machine noon. That can't be changed, but ther is no need to have the machine clock the same as your wall clock. People on a night shift can set the machine clock noon to be at 6:00 pm (or 1800).

This messes up adding data from something synchronised to the real time, like an O2 ring, for example. I can't think of a solution for that.
