CPAP heyah for your sleep apnoea

I'm now the proud owner of my very own CPAP machine. I had no idea the things stored so much information! All these graphs came out of the trial machine, showing that the leaks I'd been worried about were actually nothing to worry about, and that it was preventing almost all of my apnoeas; but I was Still having episodes of less serious, but nonetheless sleep-disrupting, hypoxias. So I hacked it and cranked up the pressure from 8 to 9 (centimetres of water) and I've had three exceptionally good nights' sleep in a row. It was jolly weird yesterday not to be hit with grogginess even once. Experience has taught me never to think "Whew, I am cured of my sleepiness", but I'm always inching in the right direction. Or centimetring in the right direction.
