Sleeping on your face.... On a down/feather pillow? You're probably getting mildly suffocated repeatedly during the night.

Several people have tried to tell him, but he's having no part of this so far.

Hypoxia, hupercapnia, increades respiration rate, denial ... I knew about the first three effects...

As I have said before, my nostrils are not stuck in the pillows - there is always a channel open to fresh air - sheesh people! In fact, if the damn mask would vent the same way nostrils vent, there wouldn't be a need to turn my head!

I do, however, sleep mostly face down on feather pillows.
