If you get it messed up, disconnect the mask from the hose, take all the parts into another room, turn on the lights, and put it back together with the lights on. That way, you can also swear at it without waking up hubby.

When I first got my setup, I found it difficult to get the hose off the mask, but now, I don't even have to think about it. My hands know how to do it without getting the brain involved.

Agree with this! Sometimes when I get that mask on and sealed real nice and all comfortable and everything I just turn it off and disconnect the hose if I get up for anything.
