Q: My humidifier sometimes runs out during the night and most other nights is 3/4 empty by the morning. What is going on here?
A: If you mean "why does it vary from one night to the next?" it may be that you are mouth breathing or have mouth leak. If you breathe through your mouth, you let lots of air escape from your mouth. All the extra air that escapes uses up your water more quickly.
