I have a clear plastic container that has two holes in the top...one to the CPAP machine and one for the mask...taking it apart is not going to be a problem...lol.

krousseau, when you wake up are you awake or groggy? I need to be able to get up and get going in the morning...but I will ask my doc about this at my next appt. I was up at 3:30 this morning AGAIN got up and jumped on the bike...did a full hour...but now I wish I could crawl back into bed. Gail

Hi Krousseau. Well, I am usually in the bed at 8:30...with the Yankees playing lately I don't get to sleep until around 10.

I have changed my face mask (I am now using the pillow) and have added the heated humidifier. I no longer wake up in the middle of the night ripping the unit off my face too afraid to put i...
