Thanks for your good information John. I track my nightly score on my Resmed and I have not been able to figure out how to reduce my hourly events to 5 or or below. It seems as though the fewer the hours I sleep the fewer hourly events I have. Any suggestions please.

Hi Alan @alanbruce -- I am a work in progress myself Alan ☺ My doctor wants the AHI to 4 or less. I do get between 7 and 8+ hours sleep a night but I've not had too much consistency with the numbers. I started last July and have had a handful of days under 5 and 2 under 3 for AHI but most of the time I'm going up and down. Last night my AHI was 5.5 and the night before was 5.9 but the night before that I was at 8.1. I think my problem may be related to pain from my bad knee and having to constantly roll back and forth to get comfortable.

Does your mask feel comfortable? Seems like when I don't feel claustrophobic with the mask I have lower numbers. I shave with my electric razor and wash my face with a warm washcloth before putting on the mask. Hoping some others have some suggestions because I can use some too!
