Hello, Indeed there are several things you can do at home to help this. First, you can lower the setting on your humidifier and/or turn the temperature up in your bedroom.
Also, if you raise the hose up above your head it will cause most of the moisture to run back to the humidifier when it condenses in the hose. Also if you do not want to do that, put the hose under the covers with you to keep it warmer.
Another choice is to cut the toes out of a pair of tube socks and slide them over the hose to keep it warmer.
And lastly if you want to purchase a solution, there are several companies that manufacure covers for the hose to keep it warmer, including my company. If you want to check out what I have to offer, you can google padacheek.com
I hope this helps.

I really like that site Jason.

Another option is to try setting the machine a little lower than your head. A bedside table that is just a couple of inches lower may do the trick.

i agree with rock and also make sure you have the hose hanging down between your bed and the machine and that should do it as well
