Re: How has your experience been with the SoClean2 Sanitizing?
Having a potentially hazardous device continuously hooked up WHILE YOU ARE USING IT sounds like a really bad idea. I prefer an air gap--something like 800 miles should do. Preferably upwind from the machine, in a field, with wind blowing. Jim Interesting how we tend to dump and criticize something ...

Re: Devices/programs to help evaluate sleep status
Has anyone experience with the Sleepace RestOn device? Like the Withings Aura, there is a band that slips under the bedsheet; reports are generated through a phone/device app. A local dealer has them on sale, and I am tempted to purchase. I've read a mix of online reviews, but was wondering if anyo...

Re: Odd Spike in AHI
I have been going along quite happy, with AHI running .7 up to 3.2. Night before last, though, had ahi 10.79. I had not changed anything. With the same setup, last night AHI was back to 2.11. No major leaks either night. Wonder why such a sudden spike? OK, so using the Dreamware, AHI got back to th...

Re: Amara View-hisses and farts
I really want to like my Amara View mask. First time--No leaks, 0.9 ahi--best scores with any mask . Problem-- eventually it hisses and farts. Not enough to make bad scores-just enough to keep me awake. Do I tighten it--loosen it? Is there an answer that works here? Are you SURE it's the mask that'...

Re: Odd Spike in AHI
Still the AHI was approx 2/3 obstructive in nature. Maybe positional (maybe on your back more than usual)...maybe positional with REM stage thrown in for a double whammy. Well, I nev er sleep on my back. I do switch sides, maybe 3-4 times a night. AHI since that spike has been back to normal. Actua...

Re: SoClean CPAP Cleaner: Comments?
This thread is kind of funny. Reminds me of a guy who hates Ford trucks. Now he's never owned one and never been in one. But he read somewhere where they were crap. I have a SoClean and have been using for around 3 -4 years. I've never seen any kind of living crap on my mask, in my hose or in my hu...

Re: Forum guidelines
How appropriate is it to post a subject which is somewhat off topic? For example I was considering asking how much members monitored the quality of their sleep .... i.e. time in various stages of sleep. That seems entirely appropriate. I have tried several different sleep trackers. The most accurat...

Re: CPAP Machine Shuts Off At Night
I have new Resmed Airsense 10 that I have been using for a few weeks. I got it because my S9 was 7+ years old and I thought it was starting to fail because it would randomly shut off at night while I was using it. It would turn off, I would wake up not being able to breath because the air pump was ...

Re: Taping!
That sure is true for many brands of tape out there. For anyone considering taping, try CVS brand Gentle Paper Tape. It really is gentle. I tape every night, and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. If I don't use tape, I wake up many times each night with air rushing out my mouth. I know taping is ...

Re: BEWARE Snake Oil Salesmen!
One has to wonder, if you view it as a scam, then why publicize it, just describe it, warn against it, but don't post the link. Posting the link just increases the ranking on google and other search engines. Succès de scandale. Succès de scandale (French for "success from scandal") is a term for an...
