Ever felt like a dummy?

RE: Ever felt like a dummy?
I like auto-start, however, it does not reliably stop with some pillow masks like the P10 with a small or medium pillow. Really irritating when my wife gets up to use the restroom and, half-asleep, doesn't realize that the machine is blowing like a hurricane.

Also, I've had a couple of false-starts when wiping down the pillows with mask wipes.

No, it was just one of those cases of accidentally pulling the hose loose. (And I was using a nas-pil mask, so presumably I was mouth-breathing after the machine automatically stopped.) Some masks have a quick-disconnecting hose connection, so if you pull hard enough it will come apart. That's good in general, but not when you get the hose trapped underneath you in the middle of the night by rolling over in bed.

I didn't say "hermetically sealed". Smile There's more than sufficient air flow, and no glue fumes. A drawer or an enclosed shelf next to the bed is good for keeping all of the equipment away from inquisitive pets when it's not being used.

I went to bed the other night, got comfy, and eventually went to sleep. SWMBO elbowed me and said I was snoring and to put on my mask. I said it is on. She put her hand on my face where the mask should be. First time I've ever forgotten it!
