Join the club! If you're interested in the data aspect of this, I highly recommend the software package sleepyhead. It let's you see all the data from the machine in a great format. If you're able to convince your insurance to cover, I would also recommend getting a mandibular advancement device. I find that switching between the two every few weeks helps my AHI scores. Probably because each works in a different way and muscle memory seems to come into effect for each differently. The MAD works for me because I have epiglotis-derived SA, so you're milage may differ. I would also highly recommend getting an ENT consult. Knowing why I have SA was great because it helps me position my pillows to get the best results.
This is also a really cool recent advancement but I'm not sold on it yet: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/05/01/fda-ap...
If you want even more data, I use this: https://www.amazon.com/Contec-Wrist-worn-Oximeter-Software-D... You can overlay the pulse-ox data in sleepyhead with your CPAP data to get a fuller picture.
I've also been looking into making my own EEG hairnet and computer logger but it's not trivial. Good luck!
