Hose management is a big topic around here. Most of us have it snake over the headboard to keep it above our heads. This helps prevent rainout, too.... There are many fixes for this common issue. Do a search for hose management and you will find a lot of suggestions.

Drape it over the headboard. I find that I wake up if I block the hose or the power goes off. Depending on your mask attach the hose to the straps.
