Travel
Travel can upset your sleep schedule so it is very important to get the best sleep you can while away from home.
​If you will be traveling for several days or especially if you are traveling out of the country, keep a copy of your prescription for your CPAP machine, mask, tubing, filters, headgear and humidifier in your wallet or purse.
Accidents, lost luggage, or theft can cause real problems if you have no way to replace any of your CPAP supplies.
Bring a back-up power supply in case there is an outage of some length or because you are in a location that may not provide electricity. There are portable batteries available that are designed for use with CPAP machines.
Make sure to charge it fully before you leave and keep it charged during your trip.
If traveling out of the country, you may want to invest in a universal power adapter. Power outlets may have a different voltage or your plug may not fit. Find out which adapters will work in the area where you are going.
CPAP machines use distilled water in the humidifier. If distilled water is not available, you can use bottled water for a short time. Make sure to clean your machine thoroughly as soon as possible to get rid of any water deposits.
