Travel by Charter Bus, DC Power
my Family and I will be taking an 18 hour bus trip to Florida in April. A School trip for one of the kids. I will need to sleep on the way down, so does anyone know if a DC power outlet can be made available on charter buses? I've been on a few before and know the seats don't have power outlets, but...

Finally
An update to everyone who was so helpful when I needed it. Things are going great! I sleep all through the night, I leave the mask on, I prefer to have the humidification (I'm still trying different heat settings cause I don't want to go to high) and I stay awake all day long. I have occassions wher...

I meant to ask about ramp features too. I start out with the ramp setting on to be able to fall asleep. I tried today just turning on the machine without the ramp and I felt like a baloon the pressure seemed awful high. The ramp seems to be the way to go, but is there a point where I won't need it? ...

I'm still using the machine a feeling better. Not tired during the day. That's the only real difference I feel so far. For some reason I am having a few issues. What's the deal with humidifiers? I can't decide if this thing is good or not. I like the idea of getting humidified air, but on the lowest...

I did it! I made it through the night with the mask on and running. 7 hours according to the machine. I took your suggestions and got used to just the mask, then turned on the machine without putting on my face. Just getting a little closer every few seconds. Just getting used to the air flowing. T...

I tried the nasal mask and I couldn't stop breathing with my mouth and it gave me that drowning feeling. I examined the way I breath when relaxed and noticed that I breath through my mouth a lot. The full face mask was all that worked during my sleep study. I think once I lose some weight that may c...

Fear response?
Although I spent three hours during my sleep study with a mask on with the adjusting pressure, now that I have my own bi-pap with humidifier set at 14/10 and a full face mask I'm having trouble. During the sleep study the nurse gave me a nose only mask and the feeling of drowning and the temperature...
