Re: Plastic inside mouth to stop leaks?

I am in Central Florida but huh that is very intriguing! Wonder what it costs.

I've heard Austin is a fun city so maybe a visit in the future would be a good idea! Thanks for the suggestion!

Plastic inside mouth to stop leaks?

Hi all, I seem to remember someone posting a new product to keep you from mouth breathing. I remember it as a piece of soft plastic that goes in front of your teeth behind your lips and seals your mouth from the inside. I'm sort of imagining it as a piece of plastic in a credit card shape but a bit ...

Re: Please help me dial in my settings!

Hi, I'm daughter of the op. I've been helping her get set up. We initially had it much higher but she already feels blown up in the morning at it riding at 13 most of the night. I assume it's aerophagia. Oddly at her titration study they said she only needed 10cm, yet we've gone all the way up to 14...

Dreamwear small nasal mask too wide, ideas?

Hi all, I have a dreamwear nasal mask (not pillow) that is too wide in size small. The holes under the nose come out a bit too far so blow past my nose. Anyone have any suggestions how I could maybe glue it with something on the sides of the holes to just reduce the width a bit? It's silicone so not...

Re: Heated tube or zippered hose cover better for rainout?

I'm going to reduce the level of humidification in my cpap until I decide so i don't drown in my sleep again If your nasal passages don't get dry, why not leave it at a low humidity level? Depending on where you are in the South, do you even need a CPAP humidifier? (I don't use one at all.) Fair po...

Heated tube or zippered hose cover better for rainout?

Hi all, Now that its becoming colder in the winter and I'm keeping the house cooler, I'm experiencing rainout in my tubing. I found out there's two options, 1. Zippered hose cover that zips around the tubing and keeps it semi-insulated (about $15) 2. Heated tubing that actively heats the air to keep...

Re: Sleepyhead reporting lots of leaking?

Thank you so much for the info! That makes me a lot less nervous.

Any idea where I could find the proper values to set for the redline at certain pressures? Would it be part of the manual for the mask or something?

Sleepyhead reporting lots of leaking?

Hi All, I'm seeing in sleepyhead 20-30% over leak redline every day and it says "Your mask is leaking way too much" on the summary. I don't feel a leak at all except out the elbow on the top of my head and out the front holes of my dreamwear full face mask where it's supposed to leak. I'm not seeing...

What does this flow rate in sleepyhead represent?

Hi all, I'm just wondering what this flow rate breathing pattern represents. I get a lot of it during the night even though my AHI is very low and no events are flagged. Some of the night is basically nice and symmetric where its the same height and width which I assume is generally how people breat...

Tubing diameter setting on dreamstation impacts pressure?

Hi all, I was going through the settings on my dreamstation and noticed it had a setting for tubing diameter. It's set to 15 but I believe my tubing is actually larger than 15 when comparing to another tube I was given that says 15. Would this change the pressure coming out of the machine if the dia...

Cheap sleep study using cpap?

Sorry if this has been answered before or if it's a dumb idea but I have a theoretical question. Since a modern CPAP reports AHI and specific events as types through sleepy head, could I run a very rudimentary sleep study on someone setting the pressure to the minimal setting that definitely wouldn'...

Thank you again. I will read it tonight when not working. That actually gives me some optimism that you think it's not looking awful on Sunday! Maybe it'll just require a period of "getting used to it" and stop messing with settings for a few days and see what happens. I'll get back to you later in ...

Re: Tweaked everything I could, any help appreciated

Thank you Pugsy for your quick reply. How is your overall sleep quality? Sleeping soundly for the more part or waking often? - I believe I have always slept soundly. Even untreated I slept through the night, just snored like a freight train according to the wife. And need a pot of coffee to wake up ...
