Sleeping fine then face gets all wet

Post by vkopy » Sun May 01, 2011 9:12 am

I am sleeping fine with the Mirage Quattro mask. Fits fine, no air leaks but in the middle of the night I suddenly wake with water all over my face. Is there a setting that is off? The machine is new & seems to operate fine.

Reduce humidifier setting or increase room temp or do both.
Search the forum for "rain out".

For more specific suggestions we would need to know which machine and humidifier and if ResMed machine, which hose is being use.

Keep the cpap machine lower than the top of your mattress.
