Thank you!!
Thank you doctor
@kentyler966 good question. I’d also like to know what is a water-based lubricant.

The "stink" is actually what the inside of your throat snd lungs smell like LOL, there's no way around it.
Any advise for someone who uses a CPAP and has a Jones tube in their tear duct. None of my sleep doctors or the people who helped me with my CPAP had even heard of a Jones tube before. Most nights it does not bother me but some nights I have to sleep with the side of my face pushed into a pillow to keep it from leaking air.
How to buy this mask?
I’ve tried all the masks literally …no kidding……found one finally ResMed N20 comfortable fits great ..I have no leaks. Everything is great. However, I still take it off after 2, 3,or four hours …can’t get past five hours after months and months and months if only my doctor could read the Oscar data and tell me why I’m taking it off and what’s going on …my sleep therapy is working, however, there’s a reason I’m taking the mask off if only doctors could do more than just read the minimal data like I can
I love the n20
I read you loud and clear. I am also wearing the same mask. My sleep therapy is very good. When I sleep. However, I do get a bit of anxiety when I go to place it on. The best part is taking it off in the morning. I average about 7 hrs a night wearing the mask.
Try magnesium glycinate. It really helped me :)
@@AdilHussain0what does that do?
Doctors will not help you, you have to figure out on your own. Chances are if you’re waking up at the same time maybe is something else.
What is a water based lubricant I can find at my local drug store?
KY Jelly is one example. There are several brands.
KY is one of them. Water based. Dual function...

I ordered the exam, downloaded the app, completed and uploaded the results... nothing else from them. Once you complete the study, you have no way to access or view results or track the results... did they upload properly, did anyone review them, etc.
If you ordered the exam from Sleep Doctor, then hit us up at contact@sleepdoctor.com so we can look into it!
0% chance i can sleep with something strapped to my face or the loud machine in my room. terrible invention.
You obviously haven’t worn one. Mine is very quiet and it’s comfortable. I thought the same but it’s the best sleep I’ve had in years.
I can't say it is comfortable but it is bearable. As for noise, it is a very quite machine.
