CPAP therapy is all about BALANCE!!! You need to balance the therapy (pressure levels) which help manage your apnea with COMFORT!!! CPAP is not black in white in fact there are many shades of grey!

Most Doctors and 'specialists' will focus on one thing! Controlling you Sleep Apnea. It's important to note that most of these 'specialist' have never used a CPAP before! They have no idea about the difficulties you all face when wearing the cpap mask of a night so you need to take control of your therapy and find the BALANCE! The happy medium where you apnea is managed but you're also COMFORTABLE and HAPPY using the therapy of a night!

The NO.1 enemy of a good CPAP MASK SEAL is pressure!It's therefore crucial that you FINE TUNE your cpap pressure levels so that they are working at the LOWEST PRESSURE POSSIBLE whilst still MANAGING your apnea.

There are 2 things we need to learn in order to FINE TUNE our therapy.

NO.1 We need to learn how to access and change our pressure levels. The manufacturers will hide this away from you so you need to google how to change the pressure of your machine (most likely my ugly mug will pop up!)

NO.2 We need to know how to access our data on our machine and also how to understand it so we can use it to guide us on where our pressure levels need to be set. Most devices these days will have a display and you can view the sleep apnea data directly from the machine itself. If not you can download some freeware software or purchase software to download your data.

For CPAP (fixed pressure) users, i want you to access your pressure settings and drop your pressure by 1 straight away. Over the next 2-3 days i want you to monitor your sleep data and in particular your AHI levels which show you how well your apnea is managed by the therapy. AHI less than 5... You're ALIVE! If your AHI remains under 5 or thereabouts you can again drop your pressure by another .5 or 1 and then repeat. If your AHI starts to increase 7,8,9 etc then your pressure is probably a little too low and needs to be increased a little.

For APAP (Auto pressure) users, i want you to look at your sleep data and in particular 3 values.
1. The 90th or 95th percentile
2. The average pressure level
3. Your AHI
