First week on CPAP. What changes do people think I could make

I've just had my first week of CPAP and wondering what changes people think I could make. I'm still having bursts of apneas. I'm not really sure what to change, my apneas appear to still be happening even at higher pressures. I could obviously just set the machine higher but would love an extra set of eyes. How much higher do I go. Do i just bring my min pressure up or increase the max (or both)?

I've messed with my settings little over the days and tried EPR for the first time last night as I've been having some trouble getting used to the pressure. The 30 - 60 minutes every night is me awake reading in bed with the machine on.

Overall I feel like I'm sleeping better, I've woken up a few times when I wouldn't normally and either forced myself back to sleep with the mask or removed it.

My sleep study had my AHI at 18.

I'm currently using a nasal mask only

Appreciate anybody's input or general discussion.
