I encourage you to continue to return to the clinician/ technician who programmed your device. We need to ask for assistance when needed.

I think she is tired of me lol. I have had so many adjustments to both the original cpap and also to the bipap she switched me to. Been working on it over 60 days with some comfort improvement but no sleep improvement at all. Technician says there are no other adjustment she can make so I am supposed to talk to the neurologist to see what he thinks. Will likely look to other options as I don't think ignoring my apnea is a good idea for long term brain health even though it is considered mild. That was my original question to see if anyone knew if it was better to treat apnea vs treating insomnia. If I use my bipap, I sleep okay for 2 hours but then poorly for the rest of the night. Since quality sleep is sooo important (that's what they say), then am I getting more benefit from the bipap or from just trying to sleep?
