Many people who need extra oxygen during the day also wonder if they can use their portable oxygen concentrator (POC) while sleeping. The short answer is yes, you can sleep with a portable oxygen concentrator. However, there are a few important points to keep in mind to make sure you get safe and steady oxygen throughout the night.
1. Choose the right type of concentrator
If you plan to use a concentrator while sleeping, it is usually better to choose a continuous flow oxygen concentrator instead of a pulse flow concentrator.
-
Continuous flow models can deliver a steady stream of oxygen all night long.
-
Pulse flow models release oxygen only when you inhale. During sleep, your breathing can become lighter or irregular, which means the device may not deliver oxygen consistently. For this reason, continuous flow is generally safer for nighttime use.
2. Power supply and machine type
There are two main options for oxygen concentrators:
-
Portable concentrators with batteries – These are great for travel or moving around during the day. But for overnight use, the battery will not last all night. You should always plug the device into a power outlet to make sure it runs continuously.
-
Home oxygen concentrators (without batteries) – These are designed for long-term use at home. They run directly on electricity, which means you don’t have to worry about the battery running out. They are usually more affordable than portable units and can be a good choice if you mainly need oxygen at home. Besides, the oxygen concentrators without battery is cheapper than the oxygen machines with battery, sometimes even half price.
3. Talk to your doctor
Everyone’s oxygen needs are different. Before deciding which concentrator to use while sleeping, it’s very important to ask your doctor. Your doctor can recommend the right device and settings to make sure your oxygen therapy is both safe and effective.
✅ In summary: Yes, you can sleep with a portable oxygen concentrator. For best results, use a continuous flow model, keep it connected to power at night, and consult your doctor to choose the right machine for your health needs.
