    My first sleep study was 3 hours, then they got scared and woke me up and sent me home.

    Turns out I had very severe sleep apnea.

    My second sleep test was a trial using CPAP, that lasted 2 hours before they swapped in a BiPap and a full face mask. Slept like a baby after that.

    My wife has mild sleep apnea, her pressure is 6, my pressure is 22. It wasn’t until I got an Auto BiPap, that adjusts between 20-25 that my sleep really got better.

      You can tinker with your settings too. There’s a piece of software called sleepyhead that will display all of the stats from your unit’s SD card, and you can get your settings dialed in using it.

      I had to because my pressure would go up so high that it would cause my mask to leak and I had to wake up and restart the unit to get it to a normal pressure.
