Respironics BPAP w Auto. Have questions
I'm sleeping now about an average of five and a half hours, according to the weekly data report my AHIs are around 5 although they go a little higher some nights (as I figure by following the reports)................

I was wondering if missing a night in a week skewers the weekly report that I see or does the report just not factor the missing night in.

I also wanted to know if it is expected for I/E to go up when I'm completely awake and not having any AHIs. I'm set for a maximum of 20 and a minimum of 11, I was lying down but couldn't sleep yet my pressure went up to 15/13 from 13/11. I was breathing slower at the time, could that have been a factor in the rising pressure?

Also wanted to know if air exhaust coming through the vents on the top of my mask (Quattro) were dangerous if they got in my eyes or was it just leaks I had to protect myself from. Stupid question? Maybe but consider that I can stop the leaks but no way can I or would I want to stop the air exhaust................One morning I woke up, was wide awake but couldn't get my left eye to open until I touched it...........It was scary, like the impulse to open the eye wasn't following the thought from the brain...........Is anyone familiar with this?
