Re: How to be able to fall asleep wearing the damn thing?!?

It sounds like A. You have a machine without much data, and B. The display is broken. You can look at Secondwind.com for a better machine, or search for Greyghost and send him a PM. He often has very good used machines for very low prices. There's no point fixing the display on a machine that doesn...

Re: How to be able to fall asleep wearing the damn thing?!?

The display got broken on a trip, frikken baggage handlers. Anyway, for now I can't adjust anything. I'll get it fixed asap. A saline rinse is a good idea. Will try as needed. The past 2 nights Ive been wearing the mask for a 2 or 3 hours before bed to get used to it. I wait til I'm really tired be...

Re: How to be able to fall asleep wearing the damn thing?!?

I don't give advice, I only tell of my experience. I do relate to your problem. I hated using this thing, I would fight it, I would wake up at night wrapped up in the hose. it was hard to get use to.

Re: How to be able to fall asleep wearing the damn thing?!?

At the very least they might be able to get you something that allows you to adjust the basics like humidifier setting, pressure and so on. The pressure can be adjusted on the machine he has. His machine also has an integrated, adjustable humidifier. Yes. When the display works it tells me how many...

Re: How to be able to fall asleep wearing the damn thing?!?

"Harryo, glad to see you back. Nasal congestion is usually a function of humidity--too much or too little, and everyone is different so you have to find YOUR sweet spot. Do you know how to adjust the humidity on your machine (difficult if the display is not working--is this new or used?). If you ar...

Re: How to be able to fall asleep wearing the damn thing?!?

I don't now what you mean by the model of the mask. It covers all of my nose. Did you want more details?? Maybe you can snap some photos of the machine and mask and we can help you figure it out. Drop them to a free site like pasteboard or imgur then link them here. My nose gets stuffy with the hum...
