Help

I woke up during the night with the hose wrapped around my neck. Any way to prevent this from happening? It scared me a little and I never got back to sleep. I thought I had slept restlessly but this hasn't happened before.

Hose hanger or management system. You can buy one or make your own.

there are many,many different models available.
Here's another type

I don't use one. Never really wanted to or needed to and only tried to strangle myself once in 4 years with the hose and I toss and turn all night long.
So I can't offer any personal recommendation but lots of forum members here use some sort of hose management system.

Do you use a hose hanger? Many people use some sort of hose management gear. I have not had it around my neck, but it does slide off my chest/stomach during the night. It hasn't been troublesome yet, though.
