These modifications and improvements in sleep apnea equipment can keep you in control of your condition and make the use of the apparatus easier and more comfortable.

Your device can be set to what suits you.

The complexity of the data stored in the machine depends on the model you use.

It should tell you the pressure at which the air is delivered, the starting pressure and the ramp time during which the pressure slowly increases till the necessary pressure is achieved.

Attaching humidifiers to the machine solves some of the inconveniences such as dry throat and mouth.

This device is considered one of the best accessories for sleep apnea machines by the fact that it renders proper moisture to the airflow pumped into the patient’s lungs.

Distilled water in the tank is more sanitary and has fewer minerals. In severe climates warmed water can be more comfortable.

However, 'rainout' occurs when the relative humidity reaches 100%.

At that point the air can no longer hold water and it ‘rains’ into your tube.

The moist air from the humidifier condenses to liquid water, and the air blowing through your tube pushes down the water that has collected in your tube, and you can be awakened by a surprising dash of water in the face!

There are a few things you can do to reduce or eliminate rainout and its effects.

Firstly, you can ensure the air temperature of the room is higher than when the rainout occurs as we know that warmer air can hold more moisture.

Secondly, you can reduce the humidification setting on your heated humidifier.

Thirdly you can use a tube wrap for insulation.

Finally, you can get a heated tube which reduces the chances of condensation.

These sleep apnea equipment devices are available from most suppliers.

Chapstick (lip balm or moisturiser) applied before you put your mask on will protect your mouth and lips from drying out.

The benefits of aromatherapy can be gained by putting oils etc on a pad next to the intake of the humidifier, but not in the water itself.

A few drops of mouthwash added to the water however will improve and freshen the taste of the water.

Ask your dealer to provide you with the literature about cpap machine parts to utilize sleep apnea breathing machines most effectively.
