"Just to tidy this up, I finally had an in-person review by my sleep clinic yesterday, who agreed the ResMed AirSense 10 was "wheezy" and replaced the machine."

"Hi
My first thought is "don't panic"! We're all a bit different, and there are many things that can be tweaked. I took to CPAP therapy like a duck to water, but I've had friends who say they can't cope, but…"
1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test
Hi everyone, today I received my rental kit - prisma smart max, plus a Philips dreamwear mask which I’ve been wearing unconnected to try and get used to it. I just did a mask fit test using a medium mask and got a constant red/orange leak warning…See More

"Nope, I just accept that some people's throats tend to close when they sleep, due to a loss of muscle tone during deeper sleep. Back when I was diagnosed, the sleep lab just filmed you whilst you slept, stuck an O2 meter on your finger,…"

"Hi Jonathan, well see my nose is blocked a lot, so I mouth breath which really sucks a lot more moisture and makes my mouth dry. So I put humidity on maximum, which makes for condensation at the mask end, which becomes a demonic reed instrument.Now…"
ResMed AirSense 10 getting noisy
HelloI have an NHS issued ResMed AirSense 10 with heated humidifier. In the last couple of weeks, it's developed an annoying noise, when I inhale. It bothers me a little and my partner a lot! I sometimes get problems if the water container in the…See More
"Hi
My first question is why is condensation forming? I very occasionally get some condensation, may be once a month, but I can quickly run a finger around the inside of the mask, and wipe it away. I use a nasal mask, with the humidifier…"

Very interesting and frightening information you have posted Peter. However, we on here are all sleep apnoea sufferers which is different from being sleepy through being forced to work too many long hours. Having said that, if an undiagnosed and untreated person of sleep apnoea were forced to work long hours, this would obviously make their sleepiness even greater. We are all on the same mission, however - you who is, thankfully, highlighting the danger or driving when tired, and us who try to bring awareness to people with undiagnosed sleep apnoea and still driving on ours roads. I wish you well with your own campaign.
It all starts with the law.
Type Ross v stobart into google and read how it all starts.
The situation is this.
Truck drivers work up to 81 hours per week.
They use a fiddle called a period of availability.
Its listed in the road transport regulations ( working time)
The UK transport sector is operating illegally,the HGV drivers are in a state of fatigue.
The employer relies on the driver working 5 or 6 shifts.
First 3 days driver can work 15 hours a day.
Followed by 4 days at 13 hours.
They do this all the time.
The driver fiddles by recording breaks and
POA.
Its a scam, and its going on.
That's why drivers get tired.
Wouldn't you get tired to.
Problem is you guys and gals went bothered till it happened to you or somebody you knew
There should be an investigation but there isn't.
Somebody dies and the truckdriver goes to jail for 5.years that's it.
