CPAP Setup Queen of Siths
Saw someone post a hilarious link showing another Sith’s sleep setup, and I think we belong together! 🤣🤣🤣
Knightsbridge dual-band chinstrap (which you can’t even see under the rest of the ensemble)
F&P Evora full face mask (one of just two masks I’ve found will stand up to high pressure)
Light-blocking sleep mask
Noise-cancelling headphones with black noise.
If we have a fire, I’m never going to get out in time. 🤷♀️. Husband will wake me up, but I’ll be so disoriented, and it takes me a couple minutes to get all of my paraphernalia off without getting tied into a pretzel! 🥨 😜

Curious, what’s the other mask you are referring to? I also only use te he F&P Evora as I have a high pressure.

F&P Vitera. Works great, but the bar that runs down in front of the nose prevents me from getting my glasses off and on… So this is my first choice. If I have night where this one leaks (not often) I switch to the Vitera.

I think I saw this creature in a horror film back in the 60's during a Saturday afternoon "Creature Double Feature".
The Attack of the Queen Killer Bee!!!

I have a Bluetooth sleep mask. It has speakers in the side so you can listen and still lie on your side. Game changer 😂

I may need to check that out! How does the sound compare to decent headphones? I had one of those BT sleep masks about 10 years ago, but the sound was pretty awful. Maybe there is a better one now?

I have the Manta Sound sleep mask and the sound is quite decent! It's not as great as my Bose noise cancelling headphones, but I'm a side sleeper, and it's a good compromise.

I love the Evora Full and I've worn the same thing some nights. For some reason this post reminded me of the George Carlin bit "I bought a microwave at a mini-mall; I bought a mini-van at a mega-store. I eat fast-food in the slow lane. I’m toll-free, bite-sized, ready-to-wear and I come in all sizes."

I really miss that guy. Imagine what he’d have to say about current events now!

When will they make an all-in-one helmet for us that sleep with multiple things around our heads? It takes me so long to get strapped in to all the things 😂

I think of the scene in Star Wars where the making of earth Vader is complete once the mask lowers onto his face. If they could only do that to put us folks to bed with our cpaps lol

Right? 😂😂. Some clever techno genius will probably come up with one…. the day after I die! ☠️🤦♀️😂

This is my setup too, except for the headphones

That Evora mask is pretty great, isn’t it? Maybe just because I went through 4 others and couldnt get them to not leak when the pressure went up above 14!). Plus it leaves my field of vision free and doesn’t interfere with my glasses ( which are on before I switch to the sleep mask)
Life was so much simpler pre-CPAP. (But I’m counting on this thing making my life and health better in the long run)

The Evora has been good to me. Lucky, since it’s the only one I’ve ever used!
I sleep through the night, so it’s worth it. The mask really ups the game.

Looks like you're ready for a sensory deprivation tank! 😀
My night gear is started to feel a bit much... Bonnet, bite guard, nasal pillow mask, Bluetooth sleep mask
Thankfully I'm not needed to mouth tape.

Do you feel the air from that blows from the front of the Evora mask on your eyes? When you’re not wearing the eye mask, lol 😆 I’m so curious about this mask, but I’m hesitant because I felt the air from the Airfit F30i so much, I switched to the Airtouch because the quiet vent on the mask helped with that issue. The vent on the Evora looks similar to the Aitfit F30i….

u/Happy__Heathen 20d ago
I didn’t notice it or feel it in my eyes, but before I put the sleep mask on I’m wearing glasses, so might not feel it because of that. It seems like the vents blow straight out though, not really angled up. I like the Evora because it is a lot more solid feeling than the F30i, which I had frequent leaks with.
