IMO it is a good and helpful video. You apparently are not familiar with some people who were raised being concerned about what is called “vitriated air”. They sleep with the windows open most of the winter. Some people also turn the thermostat way down to conserve fuel. I personally set mine to 58 in the winter nights. I may have to rethink that now that I’m on APAP.

This video is junk! Turning up the room temp 5 degrees will just make you too hot to sleep, and DECREASING the heat in the humidifier nearly always causes more rainout. Turning down the heat on the humidifier is a rookie mistake. The test way to reduce rainout is to turn UP your humidifier a notch, heat the hose electronically, and sleep at a comfortable temperature. Also, as bonsaibaz said, keep that CPAP and humidifier on the floor so most of the condensation runs back in to the tank.
