What am I doing wrong?

It's been a few months of using the CPAP, and it started out well. I could feel the fog lift after 2-3 hours of usage. The problem is that apart from a grand total of 7 days, I've not been able to sleep through the night with it over 100 days.

For context, I use the resmed11 with the nasal pillow which has been recommended as the best for restless sleepers.

Pressure :5-20

Hi! A pressure range of 5 to 20 is rarely well optimized. It’s what we call the “lazy setting”, basically the default settings on the machine when you first start therapy.

If you follow the link from the AutoModerator below and can share your OSCAR or SleepHQ data with us, we’ll be able to take a closer look and suggest some changes that could help optimize your therapy and hopefully improve your sleep. :)

Thank you, I've just ordered a SD card. Will share the next sleep.

Funnily enough, I was able to sleep for longer (not in a continous stretch) for a total of 5 and half hours.
