Breathing at bedtime

I do my airway clearance right before my bedtime. My Pulmonologist says you’ll never get all the mucus out when doing airway clearance. So how do you know when you have gotten all you possibly can? I didn’t get an answer.

Is it the mucus that's preventing you from getting a deep breath? If so, maybe do some active cycle of breathing in your sleep position?

@spider109 It took me awhile but at first I used to keep trying to clear mucus before bedtime and after some good conservations with my Chatbot I realized it is not necessary to get every little bit because you can do damage to your airway and make things worse. So now I do my saline and Aerobika twice during the day and get all I can and then let nighttime just come naturally and maybe a gentle huff or two to help it go.
