What You Should Know About CPAP Humidity During the Warmer Months

You know what warmer temperatures mean; more moisture is now in the air and CPAP humidity is more affected with each night that we inch closer to summer.  With warmer nights on the horizon, are you adjusting your CPAP humidifier accordingly?  CPAP Central wants you to have the best experience possible, and during the warmer months, that means lowering your humidity. The only exceptions are these:

  1. You are mouth breathing or have a leak. This could be the cause of your higher humidity needs.  If you suspect a leak, contact us for troubleshooting help.
  2. You live in a dry desert-like region. Dry air means there is no humidity, which means you’ll need to crank your CPAP humidifier!
  3. Your body simply needs more moisture. Everyone is different and you may just require more humidity with your CPAP therapy than the average patient.
  4. Outside temperatures are colder than inside. Cool outside often means low humidity, in which case you’ll need to use that humidifier.

If you don’t currently use a CPAP humidifier, you may want to consider trying it out.  CPAP humidifiers are designed to deliver moisture in the air that is traveling through your CPAP, resulting in more comfortable therapy and healthier nasal passages. Currently, over 40 percent of CPAP users use a CPAP humidifier, with many of the latest CPAP machines including a built-in humidifier.

If you’d like to know more about the CPAP humidifiers offered at CPAP Central or would like to discuss how you should adjust your CPAP for those hot summer nights, reach out to our CPAP therapy experts today! We’re available via instant messenger on our website Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST
