Re: Resmed H5i water level problem

What I do is turn the machine on for 10 sec about a half hour before I fill it. The air flow through the humidifier will dry it enough to see the lines.

Re: Another crazy question.

I connect it between hose and mask. Then I ziptie the oxygen line down the length of the hose.

Re: Plastic Smell From CPAP Last Night !

You may just need to wash out humitifier chamber. Sometimes if you just add water to it every night and don't clean it the water will start to smell from exhaust air that does not escape through the exhaust ports on the mask. I normally clean my tank once a week, but I smell it every night before I ...

Sleeping with windows open

Been on cpap for 6 months and love it. There is a draw back though, sleeping with the windows open. There was a skunk outside and boy did I wake up fast. Bad aroma therapy. Now that I think about it I probally would of woke up if I were using cpap or not.

Dream Water

I was at Walmart yesterday and saw a display for dream water. It said it was suppose to help you relax and sleep better. I don't see a need to try it since being on cpap for the last 3 months I sleep through the night. I was just curious if this actually does help.

Re: frequent nighttime urination

I used to wake up 2 or 3 times a night to use the bathroom. Since being diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and started using cpap I sleep through the night.

The next morning when I woke up and listened to it I got freaked out. I could hear myself snoring then there would be silence for a few moments then I could ...
