Hi,
Did they read any data off the Auto? Or can they perhaps organise a split test in-home study whereby you sleep with the machine on for half the night and without for the other half, whilst they record say pulse oximetry throughout the wholse night? That would at least show whether it makes a difference clinically. Whether or not that then translates into a different feeling or perception is a different matter and also depends on many other factors.
Would you say you get on OK with the machine and mask?
Do you remember the statistics form the sleep study? -
