Sleeping with Oxygen

Sleeping through the night with O2. I've had fairly good success getting a reasonable night's sleep by using O2 at 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 L/min with the nose tubes. Still use the full face mask at high volumes to abort an attack, but the low volume O2 really seems to help me as a short term prophylactic. Usually I can get 5 /12 to 6 1/2 hrs sleep, except during the most intense period of a cycle. I also believe that for me the more oxygen I swallow, the shorter the cycle - but this is just a gut feeling.

i fall asleep with my o2 running, mask on ALOT and i dont really see the difference, i still get attacks on a regular basis. maybe because im cronic it effects me differently. that and the fact my wife usually turns the tank off as soon as she notices!!

Hopefully, you already know that too much O2 will burn (scar) your lungs  (Too much of a good thing  )
If you use a face mask, I'd suggest removing the strap to allow the mask to fall off when you fall asleep.
Using a nasal cannula (nose thingy) doesn't provide nearly enough O2 to abort a CH, but I must admit I've never tried low flow O2 as an overnight preventative........interesting.
