Hello everyone! I want to thank everyone here, especially the mods—their knowledge is beyond helpful. I started about this time last year, I was sent a home sleep study that came back with an AHI of 35.6. Dr. prescribed 5-20. And I picked up my Airsense 11 from the DME, along with an F40 mask.

After using Oscar and SleepHQ i have found that my comfort and treatment is best on fixed Pap at 10.2 with EPR at 2. This was working through the knowledge I found here, as my Dr. was of no help. I have also changed my mask to an N30 and mouth tape.

I want to say that getting on Pap therapy has been great, and I feel much better, except for what I believe to be arousals throughout the night. Some of these I know because I wake up for just a minute and go right back to sleep, and others are showing up on my Oura ring and Apple Watch. I think this is why I'm getting tired by 1-2pm. I also only get about 6 hrs of sleep unless I take a sleep aid; then I get about 7-7.5 hrs with fewer arousals and feel better.

I need to see what is causing this. While my flow limits appear low, I suspect the value is not the whole picture. And when I look at the breathing graph, it looks all over the place.

I may be off on what I am looking at, but I would appreciate any help or input for improving the arousals.
