Re: OSCAR - how to find my data on laptop
Ha! Problem solved! It turns out my antivirus software was blocking Oscar. I've managed to change the settings and now I can save screenshots. Sorry Oscar, it wasn't you! Thanks for all the comments above. :D Yeah, of course I don't need to access the Oscar files - I don't know what I was thinking t...

Re: OSCAR - how to find my data on laptop
Hi Respirator99. My question was how to find the data once in the OSCAR data files? I've waded through folders and folders without finding anything I can view. Do you know the route once within the OSCAR data folder please? Logs or Profiles folder? Profiles leads to a folder with my name on. Within ...

OSCAR - how to find my data on laptop
I've always used Sleepyhead and transferred the program with me when I changed laptops. I've just got a new Windows 11 laptop and decided that this time I'd give OSCAR a try. I did try it once before but gave up because of some problem or other. The program has installed okay and uploaded my data th...

Transcend battery light flashing while charging
Has anyone had experience of the Transcend battery light flashing while it is charging? I've just been making sure my batteries are fully charged as I need to use them next week but while charging one of them the light started flashing. I'm worried that the battery is faulty. I have bought two batte...

Re: Balaclava or similar to stop condensation?
Haha - or slightly crazy! I meet up with similarly crazy friends so I'm determined not to miss out because of a bit of condensation.
I won't put my head inside the bag or all the water vapour will make it damp but I think I'll pull a fleecy blanket or similar over my head. Thanks!

The only source of heat is me!
Next question: what about when I'm in a hammock?...

Re: Balaclava or similar to stop condensation?
I was going to suggest at least running the hose through your sleeping bag it might need a hose sized hole to feed the hose in this will allow the air coming from the cpap and the hose to be warmed by your body heat, so there is less condensation as the air reaching the mask is warmer ? I wondered ...

Re: Balaclava or similar to stop condensation?
You need some sort of cozy for your nasal cushion mask. It's the moisture in your own exhaled breath that is doing the condensing. So you need to figure out how to put a coat on your nasal mask without covering the vent holes. Not an easy task for sure. Thanks Pugsy! That's exactly my understanding...

Re: Balaclava or similar to stop condensation?
Yes, that's what I've done, although a bit smaller. It helped slightly in the summer but no use when the temperatures are down at freezing.

Re: Balaclava or similar to stop condensation?
Back in the summer I had this problem to a lesser degree and attached some fleece fabric to the nasal mask and that helped a bit. Similar idea to the barrel cosy, I suppose. That didn't work this time unfortunately, with the weather being colder. I used double sided tape which only stuck to some par...

Balaclava or similar to stop condensation?
Now that temperatures are dropping I'm having problems with condensation in the mask when I'm camping. I hardly slept a wink on Friday night because of cold water dripping and trickling down my face all night from my breath hitting the cold mask. I'm sure that's the cause as I don't have a humidifie...

Sleepyhead question
Hi. When I went on Sleepyhead the other day it prompted me to set up my profile all over again. Now I find I'm registered under two user names. How can I delete one of the profiles?

Re: Aerophagia disturbing my sleep
Had no idea you were at such a low pressure - do you have no effort inhaling (as so many do at that setting)? Better to look at your diet as has been suggested, and maybe try to raise the bed. The pressure range on the machine is 4-20 by default but I got into the clinician's settings and altered t...

Re: Aerophagia disturbing my sleep
I get issues with aerophagia unless I use my chin strap and the strap has to be tight enough. Not only do I get aerophagia if my mouth opens too much, but I get a lot of mouth leak (so chip munk cheeks since I tape). So if everything else fails you might want to try that. I already tape so it's not...
