Re: How to detect mouth breathing/leak

This is primarily due to the waterless humidification system (HumidX) and the device's standby mode. The typical power consumption is around 6.3W, with a stan...

I don't think a two year study and lead to a conclusion about climate change causing sleep apnea.

Re: Climate change increasing risk of sleep apnea (NPR)

There is a theory that if there is something you don't like, it's caused by climate change. There is a theory that if you have your head up Trump's ass, you discredit science. The study used about two years of sleep data from more than 125,000 people, in 41 different countries worldwide.The data tr...

Re: Light blocking eye mask

Because of the location of the mask vents, I'd say no. Those vents must not be blocked.

Would it be fine to buy/use this machine given it has been 9 years since its manufacturing date.
What's the seller's story? Did you have a chance to run it?
