To all those worried about a power failure.

If you're not wearing a full-face mask, your mouth will come opened the way it did before (you didn't snore with your mouth shut). Thus, you're in no more danger than if you hadn't used the CPAP that night in the first place.

For those who do wear a full face mask, there's some sort of trap door that will come open in the absense of pressure coming through the hose. Again, it won't be worse than no CPAP at all.
