Obviously, we all agree it is nothing to be concerned about but its nice to know some of the possible reasons for WHY. Thank you slinky. I appreciate that. There is a reason I ask this question, unfortunately, I just can't explain now. It may not seem to be important to some, but that doesn't mean ...

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the input!

Before I was treated for sleep apnea, I would always wake up with a dry mouth. Apparently my jaw became relaxed and I would breathe through my mouth as well as my nose. Now when I wear my ComfortLite2 (nasal pillows or direct seal) and use my BiPAP, my mouth stays shut and I breathe only through my ...

Has anyone heard anything more about this secret new mask? My wife called me from California last night where she went with her sister for a sleep exam. Her sister was asked to be in a little trial of a product that looks just like the comfortlite 2 with the interchangeable masks and the whole bit. ...

I have the ComfortLite2 and the back strap always wants to slip up, so I cut a strip of Original Easy Liner (rubber shelf liner – Easy Liner Supreme is at http://www.duckproducts.com/products/detail.asp?catID=5&subID=23&plID=103) and sewed it to the inside of the back strap. It works just fine. It k...

OK! Thanks everyone for all that information. Those explanations throw a lot of light on the subject. Just for the record – and for anyone else who needs to know — I contacted Respironics and the tech support man told me pretty much the same thing everyone else has said. Here's what he said — (how t...

If you go the UPS route, it provides 110VAC for your current power supply. When the power goes out, it uses its internal batteries and circuitry to continue to provide 110VAC. They are available in many sizes depending on the length of time you need to be on battery. Does this mean you can uplug th...

This is what I love about you folks, you're so helpful. When asked the same question, my DME rep said that I would have to buy some alligator clips from her. Huh?? (No thanks, the gators can keep their clips, I'll go somewhere else.) And yes, I did a search, but obviously I didn't get as many hits a...

Does anyone know how to do this?

I use a Respironics BiPAP Pro2 with a humidifier. I would like to know what I need to hook it up to a battery when I have to sleep during electrical storms. And what kind of battery should I use?

Is the company going to make a bi-level machine too, or is it just going to be the same level of air pressure?

Yes, ozij — I have that sizing guide, but it's rather confusing. It doesn't have the individual sizes listed. They are grouped together in clusters. 1-3 is supposed to fit a certain size nostril, then they have 4 & 5 together, and 5 & 6 together. You can't really tell what the difference is between ...

Out of all the people using the ComfortLite2 is there anyone who got the combo package that includes the direct seal option? This is the one that works as nasal prongs. I have the simple cushion and the nasal pillows. The pillows are fine, but I would also like to try the direct seal. However, in or...

Where do you buy didgeridoos? How much do they cost? There are a number of places on line where you can buy a didgeridoo. (Do a search) You can pay anywhere from $25 to $200+ It depends on what you want. I got mine at online at http://www.didgeridoostore.com I paid $25.00 which included a 4 foot did...

Anything's possible. It sounds good if they really do what they say. Have the exercises been scientifically tested? Here's something that has been tested: Regular didgeridoo playing reduces snoring and daytime sleepiness, finds a study published online by the British Medical Journal. Check this webs...

Have a journal of nearly 50 silly smothering dreams I believe to be related to OSA. Dreams have recently turned ominous. Felt myself "sinking away" and dying in one. It's good that you keep a dream journal, because this is your subconscious mind communicating to your conscious mind. Only you can co...
