Anyone else snuggle with their hose?
Anyone else snuggle with their hose?
I've been finding so far that the best way to keep the hose from getting in my way is to bring it under the blanket with me. I fall asleep on my side, and I just kind of have it resting in my arms like I'm hugging it. I don't know what happens as I shift around. I have an insulin pump attached to me all night, too, and I don't know what happens to it, either. They're both just kind of there and I don't even notice.

Re: Anyone else snuggle with their hose?
Yep. I prefer it loose next to me. I tried routing it up over head through headboard and it bugged me and let water run up my nose (it was last winter). That lasted maybe 3 nights.
Husband says when I turn over I pick it up and bring it with me. Sometimes I remember doing it and sometimes I don't.

Re: Anyone else snuggle with their hose?
Yes it is tucked under my arm most of the time. i tried the hose routing method but I felt like a fish on a line and the exhaust makes noise as it hits the hose.

Re: Anyone else snuggle with their hose?
I snuggle with mine too. When I move it comes with me. I fall asleep on my right side and roll to my left side which is where I am when I wake up.

Re: Anyone else snuggle with their hose?
I keep it close to me under the covers. Back when I was trying humidity, there was less chance of rain out because it stays warmer. Also, I am a very light sleeper, when I roll or move I am always checking that I know where it is and avoiding pulling too hard on my ASV unit. I got the hose cosy so its a fuzzy blue warm lifeline that tethers me to sleep.

Re: Anyone else snuggle with their hose?
Might I suggest:
The "CozyHoze Boss" ... Easy to set up and I do alot of traveling and used it on trains & Motels and Tents....

At $19.95 http://www.pur-sleep.com/products/prodD ... rch=&page=
It's a GREAT addition & Aid to a CPAP'er life. Small enough to fit in your shirt pocket, it mounts to the wall using 3M Command Adhesive strips that are guaranteed not to damage surfaces and are removed with a simple tug on the tab. Or they can be used for permanent mounting. The product consists of a wall mounting hook and two spring loaded, self-retracting reels with just enough tension to keep the hose up out of your way while at the same time providing low-friction full range of motion for every sleeping position. Traveling is a breeze. Just remove the hook from the wall and leave the reels attached to the hose. Simply re-attach the hook base on the wall or headboard at the new location.

Re: Anyone else snuggle with their hose?
Are we talking about the CPAP hose? Just wondering...
Mine has a fleece cover on it. I keep it close and under the covers when I'm facing that way. When I turn over, it lays on my neck.

Yes, I "love" my hose and snuggle with it... but in my sleep things sometimes get "rough" and I end up crushing it.

Re: Anyone else snuggle with their hose?
I'm a hose snuggler as well.
Re: Anyone else snuggle with their hose?
I snuggled a bit too closely with it the other night and yanked my PR System One off the nightstand when I rolled over. Fortunately, no damage was done (I've now got it secured with velcro).
