Have not been getting much sleep due to CPAP raining out all the time
Rain, hail or shine I can't see CPAP being fun any of the time. I s'pose you get used to it though. I got pushed into a sleep clinic that wired
you up and did all the is he breathing type setup. In the morning they ask did you sleep? Well I s'pose I must have, but I don't remember... that'll do, tick... <chuckle>
It's been fairly hot here today, not super hot, but not jumper weather.

Hello
Kind of bored sitting in front of the computer, logging into various bbses and exploring.
The last couple of days I've been setting up a new WWIV BBS. It's called "The Barbed Hook".
Still keeping this BBS though, it's something to work on when I get the motivation again. Needs private messaging and the ability to set pointers. It wouldn't take long, just have no motivation to do it.

There you go, now you know some of the CPAP lingo. Well, that's all the lingo I know anyway :P Exciting stuff.

Oh I updated my sudoku door game, it now times the game and has a top 10 leaderboard.
Well, have fun.

You don't remember if you slept? That's another problem! LOL
This I do know something about. Try covering the hose with a blanket or sheet so there's less of a temperature difference to cause condensation.

You're putting too much water in the reservoir (at least that's what hashappened to me)
I sure as hell did... and it's helped my blood pressure numbers massively.

so it could well be. On some level, my theory was the same as a compressor, at some point the thing is pushing air so its being
squashed if not necessarily compressed, but when you squash air the moisture falls out. Which is why you end up with the receiver full of

Maybe you can see if there is any code additions that could make it better.

I've been (trying) to use a CPAP for a couple of years now: I have it
ramp up slowly over 45 minutes (the slowest setting), but when it
reaches the full force flow (the minimum required to keep you breathing, apparently), it always wakes me up and I remove it, completely
irritated. The maximum length of time I've managed to tolerate it is
just over an hour. I'm using the "nose pillows", not a mask. Got any pointers for me? :-)

I use the nose pillows one too. I'm obviously not a doctor, so can't really give advice, but it sounds like the full force flow is too much. Sometimes my CPAP goes crazy and is forcing air up my nose at an alarming rate and I have to take it off. Usually though, when I wake up it's fairly slow, I guess it's just got to maintain a certain pressure.
Obviously the CPAP is doing you no good if you can't wear it, perhaps your mouth is open when you sleep? then the pressure would escape and it would ramp up.
When I started I used to sleep with my mouth open and they made me
wear a chin strap. My father-in-law tapes his mouth shut with tape - I wouldn't recommend that, as it kind of freaks me out (What if i get a blocked nose lol)
Anyway, probably best to talk with your doctor, or CPAP supplier.

Yeah, I was first diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2001 but didn't get a CPAP until just a few years ago at my wife's insistance and after a second sleep study confirmed the apnea was bad (and supposedly dangerous).

I've heard of this gear, never had to use it (thankfully) but am fascinated by this thread. I hope you get some resolution to the niggles you're having.
..There's an app on my phone which communicates (via the

long I managed to keep it on each night and different
problems with the connetion/flow. It is an impressive

It's a possibilty, but I don't *think* so, as opening your mouth with
the CPAP is a strange sensation and it actually creates kind of a
suction that keeps my mouth closed (I think). I suppose I could video record myself sleeping to find out for sure. I definitely don't want to
do another sleep study; those are tortuous for me.
parts/supplies make a good profit from the insurance companies, so I was
a little skeptical if the apnea is as dangerous as they make it out to
be. But out of an abundance of caution, I'm trying to give it another

Maybe try some melatonin to help you get to sleep while you are getting used to it. I can't sleep without the CPAP.

I love me some melatonin. For awhile there I was taking way too much (10mg) then I came across this healthy sleep formula. Now I take 2mg of melatonin with 500mg of niacinamide and I usually sleep right through the night & don' feel groggy the next morning.

Skip the ramp up, just go full force.

are far better than a full mask. Maybe try some melatonin to help you get to sleep while you are getting used to it. I can't sleep without the CPAP.

I assume so. The CPAP uses some low-speed/cheap cellular
data connection (which I don't pay for) and the phone is
most likely using TLS over TCP/IP over whatever Internet
connection I have for it at the moment (usually Wifi to
my cable modem). So, lots of opportunities for leakage
and men in the middle. :-)

Encryption would be the obvious thing to implement for a life-
dependent machine like CPAP.
Do key fobs still operate unencrypted? I know that they
utilize rolling codes, so that "grabbing" the signal from a
nearby fob nolonger works as a means to break in since the
signal is different the next time you use it. But if the
rolling code is sequential - which has been found to be the
case for some manufacturers - then the rolling code is a
useless solution.

I don't have any trouble falling asleep with it (at least when it
starts out on low pressure), but always get woken up (after about 45 minutes) by the full blast up my nose and it seems to be spraying my
face. At that point, I'm tired and irritated that it woke me up, so I always rip it off my head and fall right back asleep. I'll try it
without the ramp up since that just isn't working for me. Thanks,
Many years ago the results of a Sleep Study showed I had Sleep Apnea and
I started using a CPAP Machine and wearing a Mask.

The rest of us just give our sleep and exercise data to Fitbit (soon to
be owned by Google), or just cut out the need for middlemen entirely by letting Google or Apple keep track of all our movements.
Amazfit and Ziaomi devices can talk to an Android app, Gadgetbridge, without going out to the cloud or any third-party services. For the
truly vigilant, it's available on the F-Droid third-party store. For
my $30 Mi Band 4 to have a battery that lasts a month and doesn't talk
to outside services, it's pretty neat.

I think I can relate, but not entirely. Certainly, I've had times where I cannot decide which game I want to play, or which project I want to tinker with. Definitely, I (too often) avoid doing my chores...But I have never thought of this...indecision...as being bored?

Ever since COVID-19 started in 2019, society has changed vastly to say. Lots of freedom that we did have has become very limited in a lot of
ways. TV has gotten so boring that I hardly ever watch it. Movies keep getting delayed which doesn't help either. We live in a crazy mixed up world now. Our weather is screwed up also. Just my two cents.
