Masks on the floor!
Masks on the floor!
My first cpap masks was a full face masks and the longest I ever wore it was about 1.5 hours of actual sleeping time. I now use a nasal pillow and my first night Id consider a success because this morning I woke up and the time said 4.5 hours of use with only 5 episodes! I'm very excited about that however I still found my masks on the floor when I woke up! I don't take sleeping pills and I don't remember waking up and throwing the masks on the floor. Is this a habit Ill eventually break?

Re: Masks on the floor!
It's a common thing to happen during sleep. I seem to pull my covers up then push them down during the night, usually a couple of times... I never remember a thing about it. Try taping your mask to your face with some NexCare multipore tape, that'll make it harder to remove.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

If that does not work, get some HAIR under the tape.

Re: Masks on the floor!
Duct tape works pretty good if you remember to leave some holes for your mask CO2 venting.

President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

If I woke up and found my mash on the floor, I'd climb back into my bed. Jim

I use an O2 pump myself, looks like you are doing the CO2 generator. JimThe Choker wrote:I keep mine on the floor in a corner of my bedroom.Goofproof wrote:If I woke up and found my mash on the floor

Re: Masks on the floor!
Do your sleep charts show anything going on when you toss the mask off? Long apneas, obstructive or clear airway? Arousals for some unidentified reason?
