Struggling for several weeks and two pointers got me six hours last night on c-pap. One humidity was turned too high causing me more heated air which I did not like on auto ramp so turned that off and we are in Florida below Ocala so has been hot. Was told if I turned the humidity down to one it would have a little heat but very little I had tried the pass over humidity and it was too cool. So I set machine off auto and set humidity to one. Then info on ramp time and set it from 45 min to 10 min because if I got up to use bathroom it took a long time to get back up and on auto I felt like the air I was getting was too warm. Also if I had to take a drink of water for dry mouth same process. Now with humidity at one and ramp at ten got six hours and could have done more but the straps on my FFM bothers my neck have to get use to the pressure more (due to bone spurs In neck) so when I wake up my neck is not sore. Lots of digging on my part reading articles here and maybe I have made the turn around to longer hours on machine and better rest. Thanks to all for the tips along the way. Larry

History be told.... it won't be long before you ditch the ramp.
