Re: How often do you conciously wake up each night?

I am a VERY light sleeper. I wake up when my husband snores (only if sleeping on his back), gets out of bed, fluffs his pillow OR if one of the dogs moves (yes, they sleep with us). I can't go back to sleep till I go to the bathroom, don't ask me why but I have always been that way. I don't think I ...

Re: Size of Fisher Paykel 432

I have a medium and hated it for 3 nights but maybe I'll try it again. I couldn't get it off fast to use the potty in the middle of the nite. How do you like your mask and how long have you been using it? My mirage quattro has to be strapped on so tight so it doesn't leak that it makes the bridge o...

Size of Fisher Paykel 432

Thanks to a member who kindly sent me a size xl Fisher & Paykel 432 mask that ended up being too large ( but I can use the frame & headgear....thanks again) and realizing the medium I had was too small, I was able to determine I needed a large. I got the lg seal/foam on Ebay for practically nothing ...

Re: THANKS LOUSPEACHY!!!! (my new buckwheat pillow came today!)

After all the raving I got a pillow from Amazon. I bought the duo pillow--one side buckwheat, one side millet. I really like the millet side, it feels a bit softer than the buckwheat yet will hold its shape. It is helpful in getting a position on my side that accommodates the mask. I think that I w...

Re: S9 Autoset using 12v power

that DC converter just converts the 12 to 24V The Resmed DC adapters do more than just convert DC voltage, as has been covered here previously on a number of occasions. Cheers, Bill You are so clear in your info. And what else could possibly be needed? Do you get a kiss? Is that covered previously ...

Re: THANKS LOUSPEACHY!!!! (my new buckwheat pillow came today!)

Just completed my second night on buckwheat - only problem - I got the Japanese size and should have at least done the standard. Very nice though and will be a good size for travel. Back or neck pain was no problem before so I can't relate to that. I distinctly remember a poster's review saying, "B...

Re: Distilled Water?

I use nothing but distilled water. With my old machine, I didn't empty it daily and the inside of my humidifier got caked with mineral deposits. With this new one, I empty in the AM and refill at bedtime. Louise IF you had any buildup at all it was NOT distilled water you were using. I would stop b...

Re: THANKS LOUSPEACHY!!!! (my new buckwheat pillow came today!)

I am soooooo glad you like your new pillow!

I am sure some people thought I had part interest in beans72.com as much as I talked about their products. I am still sleeping comfortably on both my side AND my back. Their pillows are amazing!

Re: Bug In My Tank

Sometime ago someone had taken a picture of what looked like a cockroach caught in their hose and posted the picture to the forum. Ever since then before I put on my mask, I always let some air blow out for a couple of seconds thinking that will give any small bugs a chance to fly out before I put ...

Re: Titration - Horrible Experience

I had my first full sleep study in 2008. I couldn't sleep so they gave me a sleeping pill. I had a titration study done a couple of weeks ago at the same place. I went in expecting to be able to get something to help me sleep but they said they no longer do that. I think KNOWING you HAVE TO sleep is...

Re: GOT MY BUCKWHEAT PILLOW TODAY!

I went to the site and saw hulls sold separately and it brought up a question for me. Do the pillows need to be refilled after use? Perhaps the extra hulls were for those who decide to have extra firm pillows. I read somewhere that you will lose a maximum of 20% of the "loft" The extra hulls are if...

Re: The Daily Blowdown

6.22.2011 AHI 1.8 Leak 3.4 Still a little leaking, might just be time to change the seal on the mask, it's been over 3 months.
