I wrote some notes on increasing Oxygen while sleeping, as it sounds a possible promising passive biohacking worth the effort Increasing oxygen while sleeping? – Hacking Biology .
While i’ve started from this research on the improve of Oxygen increase while sleeping i’ve dig into the topic, whereby seems a lot of people with sleep apnea problems end-up supplement oxygen to improve their sleep.
I’ve just researched the way to make it “accessible” in a non-invasive way (who want to sleep with a mask?), in order to starts experimenting it.
Did anyone already engaged in supplementing oxygen while sleeping?

Chronic hyperoxia does cause harm. Where the threshold is on this I don’t know. Short periods of hyperoxia (such as in HBOT) are ok.
I wrote about this here:

Definitively there are risks with too much hyperoxia, and HBOT at 2 ATA for 90min is surely a top things todo (i’m looking to convince local HBOT center to do the alternating hyperoxia/hypoxia protocol), increasing by 10x/15x the oxygen plasma concentration for a while.
Still it’s interesting to analyze what we can do passively while sleeping, so i ended up analyzing the work being done by medicine on those afflicted by obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), that without the extra oxygen would be in hypoxia condition leading to a lot of sleep and metabolic problems.
Most of those goes with a mask or cannula to sleep, while this product seems to be very interesting in the ergonomics / accessibility:
So i am wondering, in a normobaric pressure during the 7-8h of sleep, what would be a reasonable oxygen supplementation given the effect in increasing NREM / deep sleep phase of the research above, without leading any toxicity effects?

Best to read my blog post which gives a tool to compare hyperoxic exposures. Definitely avoid stimulating nf kappa b, personally i would stick to hif 1 alpha and avoid levels that stimulate nrf2
