I have the nasal pillows tight to reduce leaks. Any advice to stop the leaks? Reduce the events?
To clarify, these are from my CPAP, not my son's, which I also recently posted

Leaks between events
I wear a nasal pillow mask and a chin strap, but the leaks wake me up, and the events are high. When I first looked at my graphs, it looked like the leaks were at the same time as the events, but when I zoomed in, it looked like they were in between.

RE: Leaks between events
Is this your father's, son's, or your data? This should be organized into specific therapy threads for each person.

RE: Leaks between events
Your chin strap may not be working for you. It is not commonly appreciated, but traditional neoprene chin straps don't work well for most people. What kind of chin strap are you using?

RE: Leaks between events
Can you post a copy of your sleep report with your information redacted. You have many clear airway apneas in these charts.
We need to know if you had them in your sleep study. Also only use a chin strap that pulls your chin straight up, not back at all as that would make your apnea events worsen .

The Knightsbridge Dual Band has bands which pass under the jaw and lift vertically to work with the natural rotation of the jaw. We are Supplier #37.
