Re: Spouse's Reactions

My wife can not believe how much it has cut the noise down. I was keeping her up snoring, and she was concerned when I would stop breathing. She has also noted that she could slowly pinch down the hose and no one would know.

Re: Whats the best sleep meds?

Thanks for the tip, Rustyolddude! I really like using the Delta Sleep System with a MP3 player. I had not thought of that before. I had been taking Ambien CR and have been switched to Lunesta.

Re: Not feeling well, please look at settings

You are right my 90% IPap is 14.9. I missed it in the proof reading. Yes I have lost 50 lbs since December, I have had recent issues with the mask fit and leaks.
