We like to send the "aliens" around to bother others instead of having them camp out at our own home .

You need to take a look at all the different ways to keep your hose from "wrapping around your neck" just go to the search box and type in hose hangers and you will get tons of ideas. I just run my hose over my headboard and then down to my nose, a couple of cup hooks in the headboard and I'm set.
Send the "aliens" off to Pugsys, she likes them .
Started cpap in 2010.. still at it with great results.

Nope... they were at my house. I even saw them crawling around my bed, and waking me up every two hours! I had the worst night... blah! Let's blame Pugsy - you MUST blame someone (you havta) and Pugsy started the alien thing anyway.

Hey, you had different aliens last night because mine definitely paid me a visit last night.
Nasty looking report.

If you continually find the hose wrapped around your neck you might want to investigate some sort of hose management system if it becomes too annoying.
I have had it happen to me on a very rare occasion...I have never used any hose management system. Tried it and didn't care for it. Fortunately trying to strangle myself with the hose has been a very rare occurrence in the over 4 years I have been on the machine so not a critical issue.

My aliens just like to increase my pressure a lot...they don't mess with the hose..
They had a field day with the pressures last night. Yucky looking report all the way around except for leaks...kept my mouth shut really well last night.

Its only happened once in 3 weeks so I am really not concerned at this point...it does make for some cool dreams tho!

Yeah right. You know that's impossible! You're the person who types page long posts, remember...

Hose problems--it seems as though these things are possessed.
If they aren't impersonating a boa constrictor, they are filling up with water and making a racket to wake the neighbors.
or tempting the cat--as we know, cats are not renown for their self control, nor are dogs.
I'd like to see a shorter hose, maybe around 3-4 feet so the excess doesn't attack me in the camper,
totally fill my cpap bag, or create a Gordian knot in the motel.
