    the thing with peeing and sleep apnea is that you notice that you have to pee more when you are not on the CPAP because you are more awake.
    that's how I understand it atleast.

    I know I still usually get up once a night for a pee, usually about 5 hours into an 8 hour sleep. I'm 53, and I do drink a lot of liquids be it beer, water, milk, or juice right up to bedtime as well as if I get up in the middle of the night I will have a swat of water.
    Still feel a much better in the morning since starting the CPAP, and haven't woke up since wearing 1 covered in sweat or unable to take a breath because your throat feels like it is flattened and glued together which sucks.
    I have only had 2 nights that I can recall in over 5 years when I didn't wear the mask due to major nasal congestion as I use the Swift FX nasal pads and couldn't breath through my nose and I didn't like it at all.

    Lets change it up a bit.
    I stopped using my humidifier due to the humidity collecting in the loop in the hose and causing a trumpeting effect.

    Anybody else having that problem?

    Heard of it.. but don't experience it... try putting the unit lower than you are sleeping... are you using a heated tube? Heard that will help as well... possibly the unit is set too high as well... if your room is cold it could cause problems. Like that..

    After thought.. j had something similar once or twice.. but I think that was caused by me OVER FILLING the humidifier. .

    Big time. I can check my email on my phone when standing there !
    I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

    I was diagnosed with sleep apnea this summer, just before a serious slip and fall accident while getting up during the night to use the bathroom. While I was in the hospital, they tried to get me to use a cpap machine. I felt like I was being slowly suffocated and I always ripped it off and tossed it off the bed. They would always tell me " you might die in your sleep if you do not use the cpap machine!" Wrong thing to tell a 75 year old man! I can not think of a better way die!
