    Hi,

    I use it all night when I sleep. The oxygen level does go down a bit at night. But as always you  should consult your doctor for specifics. One size does not fit all so to speak. Some people do not need it at night or frequently. If the doctor has told you to use it at night then do so. It helps the heart not to have to work so hard and easier on the lungs.  Hope you are having a good day.

    I don't myself, but some people are prescribed oxygen specifically because their blood oxygen drops while they are asleep.

    How are you getting on with it?

    I've heard people say it takes some getting used to but when you do you sleep much better.
