Cpap shutting off in hotels.

[AceP68]

Has anyone had any kind of problems with their CPAP shutting off in hotels? I have no problems at home but whenever I go out of town and need to stay in a hotel, it will run for a little while then it will shut off and then I will turn it on again only to do this over and over every 15-20 min. But like I said it works fine at home. Any ideas????

USA or some other area of the world. European and Asian hotels use your room card to keep the power on.

Sounds like some kind of power interruption. Bad connection in plugin to wall socket etc....

I have stayed in hotels where the outlets were badly worn and you had to wiggle the cord just so to get any power.... Sometimes you get a discount to compensate.....

Unplug the effing CLOCK!
Your clock is in your phone--or at least I have one in mine.
Bring a power strip so you can keep things charged.
Be sure to bitch at the desk.

Are you abusing yourself or what?

I noticed that. First one, to my recollection.
Apparently, my provider is starting to reuse IP addresses, or something.
Don't you just hate being put on a party line when you PAID for a private line?

Yep. When you have too many frogs in the pond, you can't tell which one is singing.

Main thing, Don't Croak! I hate it when my hotel room becomes a crime scene. Jim

The desk is where I put my laptop.
The night stand holds my phone AND cpap
but I'm not gonna bitch at either.

I think this is a really bizarre problem.

OK, I meant to go to the MAIN desk, where they stand and take your credit card.

Those guys.

Is this one hotel (or chain) in particular? If so, stay somewhere else!

We've run out of private lines.

Lots of "ideas", but you've given us absolutely nothing to go on.
We have no idea what machine you're using or if you're monitoring your therapy with software.
It could be that you're massively leaking air and the "Auto-Off" feature is enabled and is shutting your machine off.
If you have a data-capable machine, use some software (like Sleepyhead) to see your data and you will probably find the answers in the reports.

You are supposed to take your mask on trips?? Who knew???

Welcome. Please sign up for an ID and fill in the equipment on your profile so we know what kind of CPAP machine you have.

Sometimes this happens if your machine is set to auto shut off when you remove the mask and you get a large mouth leak. If you take off your mask for a minute or so, does your machine shut off? You can usually change this behaviour.

It might not be a bad idea to get a small plug strip surge protector and use it during hotel travel.
