Re: Dry mouth

I agree with Paleriders suggestion "tape your mouth" ....it works for me. I use 1/2 to 3/4 inch tape ( 3M Micropore paper tape)... I tape from upper lip to under chin. I is important also to practice proper tongue placement..tip behind front teeth and tongue against upper palate (create suction). Th...

Changing pressure in My Setup

I have a Dreamstation APAP....want to increase the pressure . When I go to My Set Up...it shows Ramp with a lock symbol and my pressure set at 6 (I do not use the ramp feature ). Just want to try a little higher pressure to see if that would decrease hypopneas. Can I do it or do I have to have my pr...

Re: New machine and Sleepyhead

Come to think of it ...perhaps I did use two different machines within a 24 hour period...the old one Sunday night and the new one Monday night...would that do it ? Just reread your original post and realized this could be the issue...will try again tomorrow morning.

Re: New machine and Sleepyhead

Thank you so much Pugsy ! I was hoping I would hear from you I inserted the SD card and got the message "Couldn't find any valid machine data"...

New machine and Sleepyhead

I just acquired a new machine..DreamStation APAP...replacing a REMstar System One APAP. My question is do I have to reinstall Sleepyhead with this new information ? Or do I simply insert the new SD card and things go on as usual? Thanks.

Note that you can still blow air out through your lips even when your teeth are together. So a chinstrap doesn't necessarily stop mouth breathing. This is something I caught myself doing as I was waking up. I trained myself to stop doing this by using 3M Micropore tape to keep my lips closed. After...
