Why would you want to?

Hack in what sense? In the 'remotely reprogram to breathe at Flight of the Bumblebee speed' sense or the 'I can run Linux on an abacus' sense?

Only qualified technicians who have been reading your latest sleep-study results are supposed to be able to recommend to your physician what changes s/he should make. But in practice, if you put on 10 lbs, your setting almost always goes up 0.5. All the fancy "art of interpretation" is just applying a rather boring formula.

So you can have an expensive sleep study every two years, or you can fool around with the numbers, a few nights each on different settings, and see which one gives you the best sleep.
