I have had the majority of scores for almost a year at or near 100. Yet my total time of actual sleep has averaged less than 5 hours a night during that time (interrupted). I am a VA patient, and I have had two sleep studies, and I have been on APAP, CPAP, and even tried BiPAP. Now, even with meds, I go entire nights without sleep. I slept more (not much better quality wise) before CPAP therapy. I am done with it after more than 10 months of wearing it every night for 7 plus hours a night. The clinic people say "your numbers are great", which makes sense because I am awake for a good portion of the evening. My AHI is best when I do not sleep at all.

[@truthhurts5158]

I have been on Resmed and My AIr since may 29, My Score is between 95 and 100 between 3 and 6 episodes a night. I am still falling asleep in my soup. Up at 5am napping from 10am to 1pm fighting to stay awake by 6pm. Going to bed at 9pm

[@Handbaglvoer]

So it’s been another 8 months, has it getting any better? I’m on day 4, I was exhausted all day like I had no sleep. I scored 97 last night and ahi is under 2.

[@qualityreno9689]

A key reason could also be that you don't have enough pressure. Somehow people think that if your machine is setup to a pressure range of say 5-20, the machine will adapt and provide the right pressure! Guess what, machines are not that efficient, and misinterpret information. Ask your doctor to raise your minimum pressure, and monitor your situation. If he's not involved, and a bum like mine, go to a sleep therapist who could go through your sleep info from the SD card. Hope this helps someone.

[@affinityhm]

Great advice. Thank you.

[@DGQ1Q2]

In my case is reverse. I use the minimal pressure 4 fixed with a nasal pillow mask. tape my mouth soft tape. I was full mask full automatic 4 to 20 pressure. my AHI without CPAP is 44 Severe. now I obtain below of 1 in AHI each hour. I noticed when the CPAP is in APAP adjusting the pressure itself made me wake up a lot. and use too much pressure without need. I discovered using Oscar APP, and learn read the graphs to adjust it. I am so happy and feel so good with the CPAP now. who invented it is a genius. The sleep clinics put all automatic and that is good to start, you must learn and find what is best for you. The study clinics trust too much in the algorithm of CPAP software, and the software is unable to be proactive, it is reactive, I mean, the CPAP act too late and elevate the pressure more more and keep high and take so long to lower it. all those variations of pressure perturb our sleeps. so you must find a balance between quality sleep and apnea control. for my case the best is a fixed pressure.

[@Trainfan1055Janathan]

I'm a bus driver and I find it very hard to schedule the amount of time I need to use this device. It often takes me multiple attempts to sleep with it. I've lied down for an hour without falling asleep, then after a second attempt, I've fallen asleep right away. I keep waking up an hour or two before it's time to wake up, then contemplating whether or not I should go back to sleep with the device. I might go back to sleep right away, but I might also just lie there wide awake until it's time to wake up. It's really hard to use this device on cue, but it's a legal requirement.

[@dewitubeX1]

when your watching tv or movie, gaming, etc just put it on. when reading just put it on for as long as you like and you'll be surprised that you'll get used to it in time. also what kind of mask you have? that also can make a big difference. i have a p10 mask and a f30i mask as well. trust me once you get the hang of it, you'll be sleeping with it without any issues.

[@paisleyjane9606]

I've been using a CPAP just over three weeks now and my score was 91 last night. These scores seem to be mostly for the insurance companies to evaluate compliance. I would have guessed that the missing elements were O2 levels and actual sleep. I got a score of 98 one night and it was actually one of my worst nights. Besides mask leaks, mouth leaks (chipmunk cheeks) are my big problems.

[@affinityhm]

Mouth leaks will totally ruin good sleep. So that would be the first and most important issue. Consider chin strap or different mask all together. Best wishes. Thanks for watching. Many more videos. Search on our channel for mask leak

[@keithcarter4086]

I had a 96, lowest score this week.I'd certainly say this score has very little relevance to the actual sleep quality I experienced. I'd rate me a 60 tops.

[@affinityhm]

Hi. Often it’s because while you are “asleep” with low AHI, but simply not enough REM. I think it could be low vitamin D. Ask your doctor about this. Here’s a lil video I did on the subject. CPAP Success and the Missing Piece kzbin.infoj54XQxfkyNs?feature=share

I recently started using my resmed airsence 11. My first night, I got a 68 on 5:15 the second night. I had an 82. For the coming weeks, my goal is getting to the 90s and later on the 100s. I need to get used to wearing a mask

My last score is 98, still sleepy, I always woke a couple of times during the night, replacing the mask, changing position, etc. but my therapist told me that it's "normal" because I'm using my cap for less than 2 months, she said it could take a couple of months, up to 6 months, is that right ?

[@craigfaulkner3361]

[@mikeinpcola5543]

Hi Chris. On this score, I bet ResMed wanted to keep it simple by producing a score of up to 100 based solely on CPAP therapy, and not on sleep quality overall. As you mention, their MyAir score does not take into account light sleep, deep sleep, REM sleep, etc. It might be too confusing for the general masses, but they really need a top score of CPAP therapy to be, say 70, and show you the amount up to 70 you get based on CPAP treatment, and then % of that 70...knowing there is another upwards to 30% of other contributing factors than can get you up another 30 points, which they have no way of tracking, for total of 100.

[@DGQ1Q2]

no only that, each CPAP user must learn understand the graphs using example Oscar APP, the curves of inhale and exhale say a lot. , plus the other variables. inclusive need a Oximeter and add to the graphs.

[@Healinghands829]

I thought you were going to say oxygen! Mine keeps dropping! I bought a ring to wake me up when it drops.

[@robhuff46]

I get 100%score, my apple watch shows 24m Deep, 5h22m Core, 1h11m REM and 15m Awake?

[@nonacee5065]

Resmed score is way too basic. I get 100 continuously but have to rely on my smart watch for a better sleep data breakdown. My sats drop to the mid 80's now which is better than the mid 60's i was getting before getting my airsense 10. However the machine doesn't cover that vital information. The few nights that i had 90% plus oxygen mostly, I've woken up feeling great. So my tiredness is correlated to my drop in sats for hours at a time during sleep. Machine says i only get 1.1 episodes per hour (down from 36.4 with no breathing from 28 to 145 seconds) so can't explain my sats dropping still low on cpap with so few episodes. My watch breaks down my states of sleep and usually get 1.5 hours of rem but over 3 hours of light and 30 minutes of deep sleep with wakefulness a quarter of the time. I don't bother with the resmed data except to find out the pressure used that night.

[@jeremiahkirby6552]

The first year of cpap use I was exhausted. Still exhausted. Got a 100 last night. I'm 43 and I've already had 3 strokes. Sleep apnea can cause strokes. When I was 13 I had a brain tumor on my pineal gland. My pineal gland was eradicated by radiation. They thought the pineal gland does nothing. Turns out the pineal gland regulates your sleep and deep sleep by emitting melatonin. Cpap helps a little!

Could be that although tge apnea is well tested you still aren’t getting enough REM sleep. Check with doctor. Possibly low on certain vitamins necessary for triggering REM like D maybe… see doc.

[@ohgeeesyy]

@@affinityhm will a deviated septum make cpap less affective?

[@affinityhm]

@@ohgeeesyy with your ahi so low, your apnea is well treated. So almost no apnea with your cpap is great. Deviated septum makes you less likely to tolerate a nasal pillow mask. So I’m guessing you use full face which is perfect so you can breath through nose and or mouth.
