Do you miss your blankets?

But it looks like adding erased all the previously posted votes. dernit.

Yep, when you change it you get to start all over again.
I am a "no change".

Guess next time, I'll take a poll on what to put into the poll. . .

quietmorning,

This shouldn't be an issue with the Swift FX. Since the coupling with the vent swivels 360 degrees, you can tuck the covers up to your chin and just swivel the coupling so the hose goes from your nose toward the head of the bed. That's what I do.

With another mask it might be a problem, but not with the Swift FX.

Lol. . . must be the difference in living south of the border.

Seems to be they are very similar. Difference between a torch and a flashlight, me thinks.

Toboggan is what they are sitting on what they are wearing is a toque:

Other names include: knit hat, knit cap, sock cap, tossle cap or toboggan (Southern American English), burglar beanie, tossle cap, or chook.

I miss sleeping on my stomach, I do know the good my CPAP is doing for me but right now I mostly want some headgear/mask that I can actually wear and not just take off. The pillow cushions or just the machine tend to give me so much congestion and ensuing allergy symptoms I am at a loss what to do.

Pugsy stole my 'cage' idea before I could post it!

Sleeping on my front, with a duvet up to my shoulders there's no problem with the vent (and that's set higher on my mask anyhow than the usual right angle place).

I first heard this use of "toboggan" from a Swedish woman who thought it odd that Americans slid down hills on their heads. It was years before I realized some people use that word for the hat one wears while riding the sled. IIRC, the intermediate form was "toboggan cap".

I usually pull just the sheet over my head in the morning once it's light. My wife likes the bedroom light when she's getting ready for work and gets up earlier than I do. So the only way that I can darken the room down enough after that is to have the sheet over my head *smile*. Haven't had any problems with doing that. I sleep on my side, by the way.

Wouldn't that be an oxymoron, buff hats??

Try it without blankets for a while. Then cover up. Check your leak rate with SleepyHead to see if it changes.

Of course, if you are uncomfortable with it, it doesn't matter what the numbers say.

**grins** I'm a Southern American. . .**laughing**

But after some much concentrated thought - if there is such a thing in this brain of mine - it seems to be that some facts are present:

We Southerner's call ANYTHING that fizzes and can be poured over ice . . . a coke.
That means if it's a Dr. Pepper, it's a coke, if it's a 7up, it's a coke. . . if it's a coke . . then obviously there is no confusion.

If someone calls it a 'pop' or a 'soda' or a 'sodapop' then we just know he/she 'aint from 'round here.' And we get all wary like, because only the 'yanks' talk like 'at.'

When I was a kid, we Southerners got MAYBE 4 inches of snow in any given snow storm. Now. . .I think maybe an inch if we're lucky.
So, we have sleds, and we use our rubber boots to 'iceskate'. And certainly so, we confused the things worn on the head with the thing the children ride on 'up there in the NORTH' as toboggans since we could not figure out what that thing was they were riding on - because snow over four inches didn't exist, any way, and that wouldn't work unless it had a very flat bottom and ROUND . . .and just one person . . .and we're so set in our ways, dontchaknow. . .. And if you look sideways and think of 8 tiny reindeer, maaaaybe it could be a . . .sleigh?

But then, honestly, we tend to stop on green lights, go on red, and can't figure out how to merge into traffic worth a flip.

So, I humbly stand utterly corrected. . . and I've learned something very new and utterly delightful.

**deep bow** We southerner's have some issues.



Edit: That, and Southerners, unless you're from Louisiana, absolutely BUTCHER French diction.

I am going to try this. I'd like to see if it's just my fear of suffocating - or if it's a real issue. Thanks!

Maybe a sheet would allow more air to get through and still protect somewhat from the cold? Hm. . .I'll try this too.

I can't WAIT to ask if this or that person is going to go sledding on their heads!
