Sleepea

Thank you, I was beginning to think that starting therapy counted as one on/off.

There was one night I had an unusual amount of on/offs and couldn't figure out why.

a loud foghorn sound wakes me up.

I noticed when my ResMed machine will make a strange "howling" air leak type of sound the water chamber is not seated in the unit correctly. I shut the machine off, take out and reinsert the water chamber and everything works after that.

The flatulence sound from the mask is a good sign it is time to change the cushion, this makes noise but the feeling of the cushion flapping against the skin is worse.

One has nothing from like 12:30-3:30, what could cause this?

I had this happen before, the only thing I could think of was a power failure, I have no idea why it would be turned off for such a long period. A user will see small breaks if they get up to go to the bathroom and turn the machine off. ResMed machines have an auto start feature, as long as the user is wearing the mask the machine is operating. If the power goes out and comes back on it will restart.

If you use MyAir or not is irrelevant to the question, I would like to know what "Mask On/Off" means.

Resmed and your doctors are selling your data, it is sad but that is modern life. Unless you disabled the cellular connection on your machine, the data is going to Resmed if you use the MyAir app or not. Your sleep center pulls the data down from u-sleep/umbian (ResMed) servers.

On the MyAir app/web page what defines a Mask on/off? Is it if you turn the machine on-off and back on? For example go to sleep, wake up to use the bathroom so you shut the machine off and then turn the machine back on when you get back in bed. There are nights I do not wake up in the night, I sleep straight through yet the app will say I have two mask on/offs.

If I load the data into SleepyHead, I don't see any machine on/off/on unless I do go to the bathroom. The app seems to always have at least one, usually two on/off.

Where did you purchase the new hose? I have read that some aftermarket or counterfeit supplies can have bad smells.

I don't recall noticing a "WOW!" moment, what I do notice is if I take a nap or fall asleep without using the machine I really feel groggy, tired and confused.
I have been using a CPAP for over five years so my "before" memories are faint. I notice when I don't use it.
