Does it feel any different? You might want to keep track of how you feel in the morning - also, were your last two days "normal" days in terms of your lifestyle, what you ate, the last time you ate before you sent to sleep, how much you exercised, etc.

Also consider with the climate control, it may mean you may need to adjust the humidity (must be nice to have a new toy to play with.)
Hi Gary, nice to see your face around here! Yes, I know, I know.........

I feel good, as always. I think I'm getting equally good therapy, I don't know if it's better, yet.

I am loving the climate control--no more mask rainout and "hot head" during the night, so I'm sleep better. I can't believe that it's set at 80% humidity and 80 degrees, and I feel cool and comfortable.

I managed to combat the rainout I was getting on the S9 by not draping the hose over the bed pillar and letting it drop to the floor as well as dropping the temperature on the machine to 23C. However this morning I awoke with 1 drop of water in the mask (first time in a week that this has happened).

Oh and the other thing that I think has really helped is I'm only filling the water chamber up to the second to last line, not the max line. I think that's had a good effect at reducing rainout. When I filled it up to the max line I was more likely to get rainout.

Interesting, is 23C room temperature? Are you running in auto mode or manual?

I set my hose temp at 10F above room temp and run it in Auto with the hose over my bed head. Never had a problem.
I tried manual once at 4.5 and got a hint of rainout, i could smell it coming down the tube so i dialed back to 3.

Auto it is from now on.

Sorry missed your post the other day Bob. For me the room temperature is 20C and I find it's more comfortable to have the S9 set at 23C to reduce rainout further.
