hello Tired Tony

To continue with Jim and Cue's motor vehicle explanation about the "odometer" on your CPAP, you can use it to calculate and keep track of average nightly use. Note the "mileage" and the date. Check again a month, or two, or a year from now. Note new mileage; note the date. Subtract, divide and you have an approximate nightly average use over that time. Subtract something for non-sleep use, such as drying out your hose, etc.

You could keep track of the recordings in a logbook. I keep an annual log recorded in permanent texta on the bottom of the machine.
