Dry mouth

Post by JPilgrim » Fri Oct 04, 2024 7:08 pm

I am using a resmed airsense10. Climate control set to auto and hose temp set to auto. I am waking up with a very dry mouth. What should I be setting the climate control and hose temp to?

Auto setting for humidity is roughly equal to a setting of 4 manual.
Auto Setting for hose air temp is roughly around 81 degrees F.

Impossible to give a concrete answer because of all the variables but I would start with humidity of 6 and hose temp of 84 degrees (may need more if condensation happens).

Bear in mind that even if you used maximum humidity that it might not fix the dry mouth problem.
We got lots of FFM users here using something to add moisture to their mouth.
