I'm sure you've seen these types of postings before but anyway...

Got my machine yesterday. Tech came to my house and show'd me how to use the humidifier and we got the mask to fit. Using nasal pillows.

I do think I feel better today than I have in a long time but I'm concerned about the AHI that my machine reported--I was still at a 17. Is this normal for a first night? Should I expect this to improve?

Something I noticed this morning was that I woke up feeling rather alert--this never happens. I woke up around 8:15 which is unusually early. I continued to doze until about 11, but I normally am never up before noon on a weekend. Maybe this is psychological, but I don't know. I am not complaining about this. What I do know is that I really want this therapy to work for me and that I am willing to comply with.

Could someone let me know about my AHI and if I can expect that to improve or if I need to get the tech back over here ASAP.

Thanks.
