[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2695237, member: 116439"] I had Phillips Dream Machine and over a year ago they had a recal on them. I finally got my new Dream Machine II about three months ago. It is smaller, very quiet and a pain to change the water out. It connects to my phone by bluetooth and I can adjust the settings for Humidity and airflow. I can fall asleep with it, but then again when I wake up in the middle of the night, I have a hard time falling back to sleep with the mask on.. I guess it's like claustrophobic and I feel that I am breathing in the same air as I exhaled. Either too warm or not enough air flow. Changed the humidity from "1" to "3" and the air flow up to "10". Currently on "2" for humidity and "7" for air flow. Had it on for 4 hours then Cassie got me up, went back to sleep with it for another 2 hours and then Cassie wanted to go out. Could not wear it after that. I am at around "" episodes in one hour from several sleep studies. I know that I need to wear it because Sleep Apnea can have an effect with your heart lower ventral from the lack of O2 causing water build up in the ankles. It doesn't seem to bother me without the CPAC, but as soon as I start snoring Jill starts hitting me. Wish that I didn't have Apnea or that the msk would not bother me. i also tried using the "Nose" Mask and Head Gear to keep my mouth closed. That didn't last at all. I even got a Navage Nasal Cleaner System to have a clear airway. Some of the things to do to help is Weight Reduction if you are overweight and Alcohol intake. These make your airway too relaxed and stops your breathing cycle. I am overweight, but don't drink. Two effects from my spinal cord injury. I have had my heart checked out and good Stress tests, Cardio Gram Ultra Sound of the Valves very good and EKG excellent. Sleep Apnea can really mess up your heart and cause failure. Wish there was a new medical procedure to fix Apnea. Good luck to all that have it and for Battery power so you can take hunting. [/QUOTE]
