Mine goes up past my forehead on to the pillow and then along the headboard to the machine. I toss and turn all night and it does not seem to be an issue with my movement.

I sleep facing the center of the bed, away from my machine. The hose goes down toward my chest, and then across my body to the machine. If I roll over for a short time, it hangs directly down, and sometimes feels heavy. Most of the time, I am completely unaware of it. I do keep it on top of the covers as I feel like it is being pulled on if it is under the covers.

Who would have thought it would be this challenging to sleep and breathe at the same time?

Mine goes up, up, up...

I really like the ingenuity of CFrog's solution. But I don't have any fishing poles laying about.

Saw this recommended by another forum member a while back. Have been very happy with it. It's inexpensive (~$10.), easy to "install", and very portable. Arm is loose enough to follow your movements. The hose loop is secure while allowing easy adjustment.
