CPAP Advice needed

Arrange some pillows to create a cavity for your face and mask when you sleep on your stomach .
Just keep at it till you find something that works for you ,it’s worth it .

I’ve been on a machine for over 15 years , probably why I’m still kicking.

Ok so it’s been off and on whether I can make it through the night with the mask on the whole time but I’m not feeling as exhausted which is good. I’ve got another question thigh. How good are you at actually doing the cleaning maintenance? I was told to wash both the mask, hose and water thing every day with soap and water. I haven’t been doing that out of lack of time and well, laziness. Is it really vital to do it every day?

I wash the bit that goes on my nose maybe once a week. The rest… not so much. The most important part is keeping your filter changed regularly.

I replace my nasal pillow every two weeks, and sometimes will wash it once or twice during those two weeks. I replace my air filter on the same schedule, every two weeks. I used to soak the tubing and water reservoir in hot water and white vinegar to clean it once a week. Now, I rarely do that. I definitely do not clean it daily with soap/water. I do check the water reservoir every night to see if it is getting dirty and clean it as needed.
