I'm at a loss as to which feature this may be and the letter does not expand on this, just saying that this will be sorted when I see the doc.

Anybody got any idea what feature they might mean, I have a F&P Icon ASAP with built in humidifier.

Thanks
I would get back to my sleep doc to find out what they meant by turning off one of your machines "facilities".

I too have RLS big time and have been prescribed with Mirapex. I experience some dry mouth when awakening in the morning that may be a side effect I'm quite willing to live with. And that's because it works very well for me in quieting down restless legs so they don't affect my sleep. My sleep doc says that's the standard treatment for RLS.

I found out yesterday it's the sense awake. The machine drops pressure to allow you to fall back to sleep but for me it allows an apena hens walks me up, having it turned off last night actually I felt the difference and feel like i had better sleep last night, will check out my stats latter to confirm.
