No tongue-in-cheek here. That's what I'd do and did.

If you are using fixed pressure around 19, as is suggested in your avatar. If there isn't a bunch of CA that may need another machine, I'd take the auto bpap..

For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure.

RE: NOOB questions about treatment selection
I remember another Canadian some time back discussing what you have to do in Canada to get the system to issue a Auto machine. Basically the *rules* have something to the effect that if the minimum required pressure once treatment begins is 3 cmh2o or more lower than the maximum pressure reached during treatment, that the Canadian system is amenable to paying for an Auto. I am not a Canadian though. Also, that may have been specific to her province.

Tongue Suck Technique for prevention of mouth breathing:
  • Place your tongue behind your front teeth on the roof of your mouth
  • let your tongue fill the space between the upper molars
  • gently suck to form a light vacuum

Practising during the day can help you to keep it at night
