Apart fom the "awakening" issue....how do you actually feel since you began sleep therapy? Has there been a change to how you feel and do the stats you posted, show an improvement from your test results? FWIW...I usually have a more conscious period (semi awake) every night around about similar to y...

I have been on sleep therapy...CPAP...for around 3 years now and I am very aware that my taste and smell senses have quite obviously diminished. Its a great pity because I am an avid cook and love doing so. I cant absoloutely say that CPAP is the cause of this because I also had COVID once some time...

Can I wash my Resmed 10 Air Sense reservoir in the dishwasher?

I assume the seal is not safe to do so.

I am not sure what "hybrid" means as regards Evora Models ...but I do use an Evora Full Face Mask and I find it to be very comfortable and I get minimal nights with leakage. My masks have a single aperture under the nose. I like to think I am a nasal breather mostly but I am also sure that I may tak...

I would ask ...How tight are you wearing your mask? I started off wearing mine too tight and had similar issues... as well as it was uncomfortable. Learnt by trial and error that a fairly loose fit works fine (with the correct mask) and it tightens up with the ramping. I would say...I start with a l...

I have no real idea if I keep my mouth shut all the time whilst asleep (does anyone?).... but while awake, I consider and believe I am a nose breather most of the time. Overtime I have experienced far less dry mouth and dry lip events from sleeping with my CPAP . I feel as if I have trained myself s...

https://thesleepspot.co.nz/products/fp-evora-compact-nasal-mask Currently I am using a F&P Evora full face mask and it is comfortable , working fine and best (by far) of the few I have used . I am now considering trying a compact nasal only mask (as linked)...in the never ending search for more comf...

I have two hoses. I clean the active one at the end of the week and hang it in my closet to dry. It can still be moist inside after a week. How do you suggest drying it? I've found little fans that blow into the hose. Do they work? On the infrequent occasion that I wash my hose..I drape it on the h...

Sorry but I dont mean to hijack this person thread....but I hope it is relevant. I definitely need a mask that covers my mouth. Why do you say that? Do you open your lips/mouth when using CPAP? It's best to use a nasal-only mask if air doesn't leak out of your mouth. Please clarify before we suggest...

When your machine is dried out...do you observe any white calcification on the plate in the reservoir? Before I dialed in my temp and humidity settings,... I used to frequently empty the reservoir in a single night and the plate used to develop a slight crust ( which I cleaned) This used to give me...

This is not meant to have any political intent. Dont read anything unintended into it please. I and many others here have experienced the head nodding impact of sleep apnea daytime (anytime) fatigue. Since being diagnosed and treated myself, I have also observed it in friends, family and peers...an...

I have a pillow on edge against the headboard (wall) behind my sleep pillow.

The tube runs tucked in over the top above my head and descends down over my shoulder...looping to the mask fitting. Simple.

FWIW..IMHO

I do not think over tight straps are the answer to mask leaks (from my own experience)

I think they are designed , soft and flexible, to expand to self seal to your face as the pressure increases.

I know the empty reservoir and slight burning smell. Recently I lowered the humidity setting and....
