I just reach over and hit the button that turns off the air, then I pull the short hose attached to my mask from the long hose attached to the machine, trott off to the bathroom. Then when I'm back, I just re-hook the big hose to the little hose, and hit the "on" button on the machine, and I'm back off to sleep.

I'm wondering if a different mask/hose set up would work better for you?

I really feel like everyone would benefit from CPAP as they age, because oxygenated blood makes you feel so much more energy.
