Thank you. The SD card is locked when I put it into my computer and unlocked when it is in the CPAP machine. Each night the display on the CPAP tells me to wait while it initializes the SD card -- I cannot proceed until it does. I see the available bars (cell connection) on the display when it is ready. The ResMed MyAir site captures the data from the card just fine. Just not as much useful detail as Sleepyhead. Soooo, I tried again to import the stats from last night's session. I use a SD card reader that plugs into a USB port on my computer. WHOAA!!!! Dreaded Blue Screen of Death on my monitor. Have not seen that for a looooong time. So, card is okay, computer is okay (it re-booted just fine), CPAP is okay (initialized the card again this a.m.) It must have been the card reader............ Thanks for your feedback. Update: Bought a new SDHC card reader and all the stats are back! Thanks for pointing me to the source of the problem.

Hi, JR. So, you are new to CPAP? When I started, my nasal pillows mask slipped all over the place, and my DME provider was no help. Then I found the suggestion online to make sure that the straps are not sitting on top of a lot of hair -- the hair shifts around under the straps, and off comes the mask. Now I use a rat-tailed comb and pull all of the hair that is under the back strap (Pilairo Q) over the top of the strap. This puts the strap directly on my scalp and also, the hair creates a barrier to keep it from moving up or around much. Just one suggestion. Hope it helps.

Hi, I am new to MyApnea forum, although I have been following it since I was diagnosed with OSA 3 years ago. Without the online forums, I would not have continued with the CPAP treatment. Thank you!

I have used a Resmed Airsense 10 Auto for Her with a Nasal Pillow (Pilairo Q10) since the beginning, and used Sleepyhead successfully. Last year I moved and had to stop using my CPAP for a year, and deleted Sleepyhead from my computer.

I have recently begun using the CPAP again, but when I downloaded Sleepyhead, I had intermittent problems receiving statistics with the daily report. Just the summary of Time Used, AHI events, and how the events were distributed. Nothing at all about pressure, or any of the stats graphs. Sometimes, the stats for the previous day would show up when I imported current data. Not as timely, but still useful a day late.

Then, early this week Resmed was down most of the day for maintenance. Since it came back up, I have not been able to get any stats, at any time. Is this a Resmed issue or something I am missing on my computer?

I looked for the BrokenGL for Sleepyhead to try, but it does not download (I am using Windows XP).

Has anyone else experienced new problems with Resmed data this week? If not, any suggestions?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Yes, you can use SleepyHead with the AirSense 10 AutoSet. It provides a wealth of information about your night's sleep. The SD card is not a DVD card. You might need a card reader if your computer does not have a slot for it. The reader connects to your computer via the usb port. Contact your local electronics retailer. They should not be expensive.

Remember to move the little slider on the side of your SD card to the Lock symbol before putting your card into the reader, which prevents your computer from writing anything to it. Then, remember to unlock it before you put it back into your AirSense.

Also, the AirSense through ResMed has their own software which provides a limited amount of feedback regarding your night's sleep. Go to the ResMed website to learn and download.
