    The Daily view stacks one night's channels on a shared time axis. Read it top to bottom and the night tells a story. Flow rate — the breath-by-breath trace. This is the channel every event is scored from, and the one worth zooming into. Flattened tops, a sawtooth, or a run of shallow breaths followed by a big recovery breath all look distinct once you have seen them. Pressure — what the machine delivered. On an auto machine, watch where it rises: a pressure that climbs and then holds is responding to something. Leak — the channel that invalidates everything else when it goes wrong. A high leak stretch means the machine's event scoring over that stretch is unreliable, so read leak first and events second. Event markers — apneas, hypopneas, and the machine's own extra event types. Their clustering is usually more informative than their count. Snore / flow limitation, where your machine records them. Oximetry (SpO2 and pulse), when a compatible oximeter recorded that night. Three habits worth having: Zoom in. A whole night squeezed into one screen hides everything interesting. Ten-minute windows around a cluster are where the answers are. Check the axis before you react. Charts auto-scale; a dramatic-looking excursion may be two units wide. Nights run noon to noon. A session starting at 1 a.m. on the 15th belongs to the 14th's night. This is deliberate and it is why "my night is missing" almost always resolves to "it is on the previous date". Post a night in Data Talk if you want a second pair of eyes — there is a topic there on how to share a screenshot safely first. Nothing on SomniTalk is medical advice. Talk to your own clinician before changing therapy.
