A lot can be said for proper training...
Apparently, mine is of the wild variety. It behaves at home, but the moment we go somewhere!? My cpap has fallen off nightstands (not at home) 3 times so far. Fortunately, it always falls humidifier side first, so water didn't get in. This thread is a good reminder - I was going to stop at the hardware store and buy some rubber feet for the next time I'm away from home.
I switched to a nightstand similar to crappyman's first photo for awhile. I liked having it on the lower level, but it wasn't so easy to change out the water when I was having trouble bending. A slide-out would have been helpful, but I work with what I have. Now that I got my Amazon Echo to cooperate, I was able to move my bedside lamp to the dresser and voice activate the on/off. So, moved it back to the top of the nightstand.

If your XPAP is extra wild and unruly, you may need a harness and leash to supplement training, failing that a rolled up newspaper. Jim

I feel like I am getting better, more energetic each day.
Before that, I was constantly feeling tired.
It is quite a different feeling.
I just wonder if the cpap effect kicks in or airflow inlet really matters.
or just some random effects.

When I travel, I either put my machine in theopen drawer of the night stand, or I put it on a cat carrier (chair would do) with it sitting on a towel to keep it from sliding around.
