Waking up in middle of the night

Post by tiredandscared » Wed Sep 30, 2015 10:25 pm

So lately, I've been using my CPAP, after creating a improvised mask liner(Which seems to solve most of the issue with mask irritation). I feel decent, and it seems to have an immediate positive effect on my fine motor skills, mental clarity(although not mental ability), incidence of reflux events and I feel almost normal when it comes to fatigue. My problem at the moment is that I wake up after 3-4 hours, breathing cold air. And it's hard to go back to sleeping again. Any idea on how to keep the air on a higher/ more even temperature through out the night?

Have you looked at your data/reports?
Without knowing what your settings are, it's hard to come up with something.
Are you using a heated hose or hose cover or pulling the hose under the covers next to you?
