Total Time: 2:13am to 5:05am

Pressure: 10
OA: 0.0
H: .3
Total AHI: .3

Leakage: 39.0

I'm happy to report that the first night's high AHI problem did not recur the second night. Though I only slept for 3 hours, Total AHI was only .3!!
This basically means that Sleep Apnea is now cured for me. As long as I can continue the CPAP therapy everynight, Sleep Apnea no longer poses a problem!

What was different from the first night:

Instead of using APAP, I set the machine to CPAP mode at a pressure of 10cm. This was exactly the same setting as my Sleep Center Titration. I think that APAP may be useful to Titrate once in a while, but CPAP is far superior to APAP mode to cure Sleep Apnea.

From now on, I will use the CPAP mode set at 10cm.

Thank you everyone for helping me solve this!

After last night's successful and pleasant sleep, I feel different today. I feel like my old self again, and the nightmare of hellish sleep has lifted, and once again, I feel that Life can be beautiful, and holds endless possiblities. I only wish that I had ordered my machine sooner, instead of waiting for several weeks to do "research", and suffering weeks of "nightmarish" sleep.  No longer do I wake up with a terribly sore throat, and a feeling like I had barely escaped the clutches of death itself. No longer do I dread going to sleep, wondering if I will wake up next morning. Armed with my APAP machine, I feel confident that Sleep can be restorative, and most of all, warm, and comfortable. I slept like a baby last night, although it was only for 3 hours.

I realize now that an APAP machine is not necessary. What is necessary is a fully data capable CPAP machine. This is good enough to cure Sleep Apnea.

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many think the APAP is the answer to all....and IMHO it is not.  As you said, having it to titrate every so often is great...but for every day use, the changing of the pressure is not always the most accurate, therefore creating more of a problem.  Plus the constant pressure changes would wake me up.

Thank you! It feels wonderful to know that CPAP therapy works.

I took a nap today, from 10:32am to 2:37pm. AHI = .5. So obviously, I will continue with the current settings.
