Finally....
had a good night's sleep. Don't think much bothered me about the mask or anything else. I got almost 6 hours uninterrupted, woke up and decided to try for a few more hours. Scored an extra hour and a half. I feel pretty good today. Just normal, not angry, pissed off, etc. Did my weekly cleaning and didn't hate it. Next week I won't be cleaning it on Saturday because there is a big music festival in town and I will be there instead of donating my time to the machine. LOL! That said, I am still working on the mind shift and how to handle all my feelings about this. It's better, though, when I sleep well cause I don't perseverate on it. YEE-HAW!!! for a good night's sleep.......

Atta girl!!
Are you talking about a CPAP equipment cleaning procedure? If so, you might want to speak with members here. A reasonable cleaning procedure is very easy and quick. My procedure only takes a minute a day. Others use different but easy cleaning procedures.Bubbles2024 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 1:36 pmDid my weekly cleaning and didn't hate it.

Re: Finally....
That's great news!!
I clean my stuff on Sundays unless I don't because of other stuff going on. Then I do Saturday or Monday. Since I have asthma, I try to be diligent with what I'm breathing and this is the one thing I can control.

Re: Finally....
I usually do mine on a Sunday. I have a portable wash tub that I put on my shelving unit that houses everything, on Friday night. I put the baby shampoo and the drying towel next to it (no night stand). In the morning on Saturday when I wake up I take everything off and apart that needs to be washed place in the tub and take to the kitchen sink. I use a tub full of water and baby shampoo. Leave items submerged while I shower. After shower. Pull drain from tub, rinse items, put back in tub and take to the bedroom where I dry them on a towel on the bed. After I'm done getting ready for the day. I check the parts if close to dry I put back together and run the mask fit test cause it will blow out all the water and help dry. I found out the other day that I can even direct the air to dry the headgear pieces that aren't silicone or plastic. I have heard some people say they wash every two weeks or once a month.

Re: Finally....
Last night was a mess. LOL! Didn't get two in a row. Maybe tonight will be the start of a streak. Had the mask on for 8 hours, however took it off 4 times. AHI's were less than 1.Miss Emerita wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 3:26 pmHey, that's great news! Let's root for an upward spiral.

Yes, I empty my tank and clean my mask with a cleaning wipe everyday before I get out of bed. That's the easy part. It's the weekly cleaning that I find time consuming. However, I am getting it down better to where I do things during each process. Multi tasking is my JAM!

Re: Finally....
I guess we all have our bad nights. The trick is to see fewer and fewer as time goes by. I hope last night was better than the night before!
