"Hello David,
Check and see if a Hypoallergenic filter is available for your CPAP machine (or for your additional filter). If so, it Should be better for you, and it wouldn’t require an additional filter (which somewhat restricts the…"

Cheaper Alternative Solution to Medistorm Battery
In the past I have hired a Medistorm battery from Hope2Sleep (cheaper hire available elsewhere). I use a ResMed AirMini for travelling (long-haul) and a AirSense 10 for daily use.I recently got an USB-C adapter for my AirMini from Australia. It is supposed to work with Any powerbank over 45W. I purchased an extra powerful Anker powerbank (20,000mAh, 140W), so it is flight safe. This power bank has pass through charging, therefore theoretically it can be left permanently plugged in and used as…See More

"I would always be guided by Dr Vik Veer, who is the UK's leading ENT surgeon specialising in snoring, sleep apnoea and UARS. He doesn't say the exercises will cure moderate to severe sleep apnoea, but can help by strengthening the airway…"

A tale of two nasal dilators
Trying to get my nose to stay open, I've been experimenting with nasal dilators.So far I tried two types.- Generic tubes from ebay, 50p each- Fancy Airmax £10Both are moulded silicon rubber.I would say the packaging for the Airmax, which is really…See More
"Dab hand with a sewing machine :) The "stethoscope" pipes were detachable with a bit of careful persuasion."
"How did you fasten it?I suppose you could do it with tape or elastic bands. Cut up an old fleece jacket, wrap it round the tube, strap it up, bit of velcro. That sort of thing. I hadn't really thought of that."
"Come to think of it you could likely double up a hose cozy, one over another.This is a piece of N95 face mask I used for high grade filtration. I just put it where the filter usually goes.This is around 6 months dirt I would say, thereabouts. I used…"
"Neat clip for your hose!
I used to use the Respironics Comfort Curve one of the best masks ever, now discontinued of course. With its stethoscope-style tubing, I had to make my own fleecy cover."
"Oh cool. Did you do any other DIY mods?I made a clamped strap to go on the headboard and lift the tube. Just a spare c-clamp with a bit of nylon strap and a clip but works well."
"Yes, I bought some fleecy material and made my own "snuggle hose" 10+ years ago. "
"Did you try a sleeve for the tube, Jonathan? For rain out? I got one off ebay for a few quid and I think it helps. It's a fleece sleeve you zip over the main tube."
Oropharyngeal exercises
I asked medics at the Castle Hill CPAP clinic about tongue and throat exercises. They said no evidence, and it can't work anyway because the muscles fully relax during sleep.Yet I'm watching Vik Veer, head of ENT at a London hospital, offer evidence…See More

"It's a suspiciously round number I wonder how they arrived at it?I asked the People at Castle Hill and they didn't really enlighten me on it, but I was told that it's normal for people to have apnoeas, which I didn't know.I…"
"An apnoea or hypopnoea of less than 10 seconds won't be reported as an event, in the same way they're not reported on a sleep study, as that's the cut-off point."
