You are correct, the APAP adjusts automatically to changes in needed pressure.

The only potential problem with an APAP is when it's set wide open with a pressure range of 5 to 20 cm. That's a prescription for failure as a patient needs to go into frank apnea before the machine adjusts.

It works best to set the lower pressure at the titrated pressure (often about 10 cm or so) and the higher pressure 5 or 6 cm above that. You need to tell your Doc that this optimization is what you want.

The online apnea community has tons of advice on set up and how to monitor your data daily. Good luck!

The sleep lab got an honest measurement of my sleep. Another rotten, restless night. The monitor didn't help that one bit. I have a critical customer demo for July 7th and worked until 2:30 AM to hammer out all the issues in the demo software. As of 11:30 AM this morning, it is 100% ready to show the customer. My 2:30 AM bedtime didn't turn into sleep until 5:20 AM. My wife bounced in from work at 7:05 AM, so that was the end of my "sleep" for the morning. She has to be back at work at 5 PM, so I quietly headed to my desk to finish the demo software. I'm way too tired to drive 75 miles to attend the Welsh Festival in Malad now. It has been high on my "want to do" list all year. C'est la vie!
