Hello Everyone,
I have a couple questions that maybe you could be so kind as to answer for me.
1. Ever since I got my CPAP machine on January 9th I've had really bad and frequent dry mouth. Now I just learned about the XyliMelts. I looked up how much they are and I can't afford them, and as I'm a mouth breather always have been I'm a bit terrified of the idea of the chin straps. Are there any other methods of quelling a dry mouth at night? I wear a full face mask so it's cumbersome to take the mask off just to get a drink of water?
2. I'm curious about Software, I have a dreamstation I was told about the dream mapper software. Is that the only software I should be worried about having or is there other software maybe something more detailed than the dream mapper software?
I am finding this group to be very helpful in answering my questions so Thank you in advance.

2 products I use are GC dry mouth gel from Amazon and Kroger dry mouth oral rinse from Kroger. Ive never used or priced the XyliMelts so I cant say how the prices compare.FaethSilverwolf wrote: ↑Mon Mar 26, 2018 8:42 pmHello Everyone,

Re: A few Questions
Sleepyhead software is what you want and it's free. I only use dreammapper software to see if there is a big change night to night but always use sleepyhead to see why.

Sleepyhead is the software of choice for most forum regulars (and many that are irregular) - viewtopic/t88983/Pugsys-PointersSleepyH ... Hints.html
