Snoreless but Soggy!

Post by 2SleepDeprived » Wed Jan 25, 2006 3:30 pm

Raindrops keep falling on my nose!
I'm waiting for the heated hose to arrive, and am not using the humidifier at all while I wait. The last couple of nights, I've noticed a wet nose in spite of it, and am finding condensation inside my nasal mask. This is not the sort of facial I had in mind!! While my nose is looking so dewy and youthful, I am finding it is difficult to sleep comfortably with a wet snout (can't figure out how the dogs do it!). Has anybody seen a cover for nasal masks????

If not already there, put the machine in the floor. Helps to keep the condensation flowing back and away from your soggy nose. Raise the humidity in your room, that will cut down on the rain out while you wait for your heated hose.

Thanks, Jere!
I'm going to use a room humidifier tonight and see if that helps. I wonder if NASA ever had this problem with the astronaut helmets?????
