Hi and welcome to the forum ;-)

Orisson will NOT be open in January and you will ned to walk via Valcarlos as the Route Napoleon is closed in winter. Keep also an eye on http://www.aprinca.com/alberguesinvierno/ regarding open/closed albergues.
Most albergues have a power socket and if it isn't close enough to your bed (CPAP machine?) then simply take your bed/its mattress closer to it or ask for an extension cord. Buen Camino, SY
