<h1>Frequently Asked Questions</h1>

<a href="#supportmymachine"/><h3>Why doesn't SleepyHead support [insert obscure/new device] yet?</h3>
|
|
<p>Plenty of reasons.. Pick your favourite:</p>
|
|
<list>
|
|
<li>• Because the 5 people who own one can't supply enough data to see all possible event codes?</li>
|
|
<li>• Because it doesn't feature a flow waveform and would be boring?</li>
|
|
<li>• Because one unpaid developer can only hack, create, and maintain so many importers before they go insane?</li>
|
|
<li>• Because to get it right takes a really, really big number of developer man-hours that would be better spent on other parts of the program?</li>
|
|
<li>• Because the build quality perhaps is garbage and nobody should own one?</li>
|
|
<li>• Because nobody else is interested in helping hack the formats?</li>
|
|
<li>• Because I prefer hands on and rarely get to play with/hack on the hardware directly?</li>
|

<a href="#compliance"/><h3>Why doesn't SleepyHead let me generate <i>compliance</i> reports?</h3>
|
|
<p>Mainly, to avoid attracting the lawsuits that would inevitably come from offering this capability. Here are the primary reasons why I'm dead against it:</p>
|
|
<list>
|
|
<li>• It's far too easy to change the source code to fake compliance reports.</li>
|
|
<li>• Do you like the idea of sharing the road with truck drivers with an untreated sleep disorder who faked compliance data?</li>
|
|
<li>• Data Formats of CPAP machines in SleepyHead had to be hacked because manufacturers don't release documentation, and accuracy can't be guaranteed.</li>
|
|
<li>• To do it would require closing the sourcecode and establishing a relationship with manufacturers who have proven they care very little about data access rights.</li>
|
|
</list>
|
|
<p>This stuff is also the reason I never bothered hacking CPAP data Checksums... If they were public knowledge, people could alter SD data card content, which would not be cool.</p>
