“ the chance of having any kind of sleep apnea problem overnight goes up by almost 50% when it's 80 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer”

Why do you have to go off for work? Guess it depends what you do - but most people will pack up their machine and continue using it.

It’s life preserving equipment, would not recommend stopping it or anything. And once you’ve felt improvement you will almost certainly be miserable without it.

Great deal for someone who needs it!

I’D suggest just getting OSCAR and not stressing about it.

Sorry for the delay.

You need to redo it and maximize the distance between the upper and lower hoses within each container.

It looks like your hoses are too close to each other in the rubbermaid container which really limits how effective this is.

Or just publish the stl file…much of the 3d printing world is open source.

Can you share a picture of your setup? In my mind it’s pretty simple - the two upper ones need to be high up / outside the possibility of getting wet (to allow airflow / equalization).

The lower ones need to be as low as possible.

If you’re at all handy this will take 20 mins. Just have a spare humidifier tank handy.

I have a differing viewpoint from @ozij - I have been using 3M Micropore 2" to tape my mouth for years and years, no issues. I wash my face before applying, leaving it _slightly_ damp (very slightly - not wet at all). I then use my fingers/fingernails to apply pressure all around, especially at the ...

Secondwindcpap.com is legit

Also lsat (member here) frequently posts machines, I would trust him no question.

Using cpap isn’t treating the underlying causes (obstructions in your airway). If your physiology has changed then maybe, perhaps you could stop using it.

The only way to know for sure is to have a sleep study without cpap and see how your body does.

How can I prevent this dreaded desert like dry mouth freaking issue. I either wake up with my mouth cement shut by the dryness or feeling like I was left alone in the desert and chugged a glass full of hot sand. @Vako I’ll take a constructive stab at answering this / sharing my routine to prevent d...

As previously said, you're going to need to commit to this journey -- but only if you want to. Yes, it's bizarre, scary, weird. I get it. It's also the gold standard in treating sleep apnea. And if you think about it, it's not surgical, it's 'reversible' (stop using it), it's not painful. It will be...

Maybe I don't understand what you accomplished, but wouldn't it have been simpler and cheap ($11) to buy a remote on/off switch? https://www.lowes.com/pd/PRIME-Prime-Black-Remote-Control/1000515527 If you read through my writeup, I did use that initially. But: A) it corrupted my SD card (can't say ...
