Re: New member-can't keep from ripping mask off at night!
My sleep doc told me that I was ripping my mask off in the middle of the night from a lack of humidity. I thought she was crazy! She gave me a new machine with a heated hose and it made a big difference, i.e. no more ripping the mask off in the middle of the night. Then I thought she might not be s...

Re: New member-can't keep from ripping mask off at night!
Hi everyone, sorry for waiting so long before replying, I really needed to see my machine before getting back with you. It's a Fisher and Paykel SensAwake with built in humidifier, and a ResMed F10 full face mask. I tend to sleep on my side a lot, with my face and mask off the pillow. Also, my F&P h...
