I would suggest a copy of your sleep study. Mine should that I needed a 5 during non rem and an 11 during REm-thats quite a range. Unfortunately the 11 pressure disrupted my nonrem sleep. The Dr ordered the Auto[ap so she could moniter the pressures to see if a lower pressure like 8 for instance would work to eliminate enough apnea for me to sleep. That is one reason for an autopap. Its a good idea to get sleep study results anyway.
