Newest problem waking me up.....

[Chivalry]

Well.. another problem has arisen that wakes me up in the night....

ITCHY NOSE!!!!

lol.... seriously.. the new mask i got thats finaly got me leak free seems to blow air directly just into the wrong place on my nose and it causes me to wake with the most panic induceing itch ive even known,,, lol

I wonder if theres a way to difuse the air or rediredt it so its not hitting me in such a way to cause such a monstrous itchfest

Standard classic question...do you have a humidifier? Dry air is the usual reason for the itchy nose

[Chivalry]

yup,,, humidifier attached...
Its not the dry air... i can physically feel the air tickling my nose as its directed into the mask,,, right onto my nose

I see some masks take alot of effort to try and disrupt the airflow exiting from masks as not to cause a cold jet blowing onto a partner... shame its not diffused entering the mask as well

I have to admit then, the airflow into the mask causing an itchy nose is a new one on me!

What mask are you using?

[symmit]

Drinking straw to scratch the nose without removing the mask.

Try a bit of micropore tape on the nose to stop the air hitting it so hard.

[Tigers Fan]

Try wiggling your nose inside the mask whilst waggling the mask - just a tad - sideways on your face. That'll cure minor wing itch lots of the time.

For a really bad, regularly caused itch, and despite being leak free for the first time, you just gotta shift the mask relative to your face/nose! By adjusting the headgear, I mean - not just a pull or a shove with the mask already on. A little distance north or south will make all the difference about the air stream impacting your nose - and may just cause leakage to start again.

Micropore on your nose sounds like a damned good idea, though possibly hell to get off again in the morning.

Sleepweaver - if your nose itches, you simply rub/scratch it - marvelous!
