How do you properly read the sleep data on your CPAP?
If you’ve had your CPAP for a little while, you may already know that your machine keeps records of your usage. But did you know that you can view your sleep report stats right on your CPAP? Modern machines show a highlight of all your important sleep data every morning. We’re here to help you understand what these readings mean and how you can improve your experience by checking them.
ResMed Machines
1. Check your events per hour.
The most important number for your therapy is the events per hour (or AHI). This number tracks how often you have apnea events during the night, on average per hour. It’s best when this number is under 5. New CPAP machines adjust breath-by-breath to give the most effective settings, keeping your events per hour lower. We prefer ResMed’s AirSense 10 AutoSet C2C, which offers:
- Humidification: 7 levels of humidity and an optional heated tube ensures you don’t dry out
- EPR: Expiratory Pressure Relief reduces pressure upon exhale, avoiding high pressure mask leaks
- AutoRamp: Starts your sleep therapy at a low pressure so you fall asleep more comfortably

2. Check your mask fit.
When your machine works well, it’s time to focus on your supplies. ResMed CPAPs all check mask fit each night. As long as the face comes up smiley, your supplies are fitting. But if the face gets sad, your mask or tube may need early replacing. If your masks are wearing out too quickly, consider using a CPAP cleaner like the Sleep8, which has:
- Ozone technology: Kills over 99% of harmful viruses, bacteria, and mold
- One-click cleaning: Just press a button and let the Sleep8 do the rest
- Complete compatibility: No adapter needed to use with any mask and machine

Philips Respironics Machines
1. Check under “My Info” for your report.
Philips Respironics machines, such as the Dreamstation, collect not just your nightly records but your weekly and monthly ones as well. AHI is how often your machine corrects your breathing. Keeping your AHI under 5 and therapy hours high will give you the best results. To do this, keep your supplies fresh to let your machine work effectively.
The less effective or comfortable your CPAP supplies are, the harder it is to stay compliant and get your CPAP benefits. You can avoid this by replacing your supplies with fresh ones regularly, on an insurance-backed schedule. This will help you keep your numbers good and sleep health stable.
Your CPAP supplies could be yours for $0! Allow us to check with your insurance provider for you to find out what is covered (for free!). Click below to get started:

2. Check your mask fit and look for trends.
Replacing your CPAP supplies regularly is an important part of your therapy, especially if your mask fit numbers begin to change. Check for worn supplies or pain points, and automate your recurring CPAP supplies if you’re not using insurance schedules. Subscribing to supplies will:
- Keep you healthier: Reduces germs, bacteria, and viruses on your CPAP
- Maximize the lifespan: No mask will be wasted and your therapy will be more effective
- Eliminate the hassle: Never worry about when you need to order a new mask

3B Medical’s Machines
1. Check under “Reports” for your sleep data.
3B Medical’s machines, such as the Luna, make finding your info easy. The Report button looks like a graph, and the first option within shows all your data for nightly, weekly, and monthly records. It also has access for iCode, which lets you connect sleep data with your doctor.
Not knowing if your CPAP is working effectively makes it hard to stick with your CPAP routine. You can avoid this by managing your therapy with your Reports and adjusting your supplies whenever your therapy begins to worsen. You can supplement the helpfulness of the Luna with regular insurance or subscription supply refills.
