Fortunately, I don't need it on and don't get dry nose/mouth.

I'm a mouth breather. I constantly wake up with a dry mouth, so I have to have my humidity on. I do have a heated tube, so that helps. I usually have it on 4, but bump it up to 5 during the winter.

We went camping last fall. The temp in the tent got down into the 40s, while my tube is set at about 78. Talk about gurgling. I ended up sleeping with the machine in my sleeping bag with me, and it helped.
