Ive started using the oxygen mask I was given when I was in hospital for 8 litres when Im in bed at night because wearing a canula at night wakes me up unable to breathe because Im so stuffed up so i find it much better
I wear the canula during the day as I find it much easier.
Having a wet mouth is miles better than being stuffed up & panicking

I've seen on Amazon the nasel cannula that has one arm and the prongs sit just below the nose I don't know if they are any good for pulsed oxegyn or continues x
I've started using a mask and I find that my SATs come up a lot quicker. I use it when for whatever reason they fall to 70. I leave my nasal one in which is connected to the machine at number 4-5, put the mask over that, which is connected to an oxygen bottle, and put that one up to 6-7 and sit for a bit. I can get my sats up to 89 this way. Then I can climb the stairs, one at a time, to bed.We do and change what's best for us and to make ourselves comfy. My canula always ends up on the floor in the morning so I presume it annoys me in the night.
I'm sleeping a lot better, probably lack of oxygen 😆 but I put it down to the jungle I now have in my bedroom of house plants. They do give me something to chat to 😂
