    It's was a short adjustment period for me. The 82% oxygen level is pretty low.

    That was the lowest point it hit on the chart for 0.1 minutes. On average I seemed to hover around 86% the most.

    The little graph only showed oxygen levels below 90%.

    Anyone want to post the over/under on the 1st measurable snow out west? We got our annual 'it is time to break out the chains and get them on the truck. And...run your bunk heater for an HOUR once a month...yeah right. During the day, without my curtains up, the truck stayed in continuous mode. At night, in Madison GA, I woke up 3x with the engine off, opti-idle not working right, and cab temps in the 80's...and I was so pissed that it was all I could do to keep from setting a gallon jug on the throttle and letting that #### thing run at 1600 rpm all night.

    Yeah I just don’t want the DOT to monitor me, I’m fine keeping it between me and my doctor. Unfortunately you also are restricted to just using a CPAP instead of other options when you have a minor case.

    DOT likes it because they get to monitor your sleep, unless you wear it while watching TV like one of my buddies lol.

    It's probably going to take me a month to get use to this. Only managed to sleep 1.5 hours tonight in the hotel. Just sitting here wearing the cpap so it can log the required amount of hours needed.

    Watched video's on YouTube and found out it's rare for people to have no issue right out the gate and some take as long as 3 months to be able to use it without it bothering them.

    For me it's when this thing takes off and raises the pressure over 10. It's set to go as high as 20 even but usually your asleep by the time it cranks out at that speed and don't notice it.

    My first mistake was getting the full face mask...if do so much as open my mouth a bit a gust of air blows down my throat. Plus I have to take the mask off everything I want some water. Hopefully when I go in the morning the nurse can swap my mask out.

    Wonder if Snack got that new HVAC update where it won't cool under 70. Pretty much can only set the inside temp now between 70 - 80.

    The cab A/C does the cooling and the bunk regulates it.
