well done
if the drooling stays a problem and you only nose breathe, you can tape your lips

I wish I could do that, but I'm an FFM, nasal mask helped me none. Anyway, if anyone has some tips on stopping leaks with a Quattro Mirage FFM let me know I've tried cinching it all the way down, I've tried leaving it loose and it seems that I never get a seal like I should. I'm very close to putting panty hose over my head and holding it down with that.

Re: Did my first full night after reading posts here
I just cannot picture how the panty hose on the head would hold it down to stop the leaking. My imagination isn't working too well today, though. I started off with a Mirage Quattro and did all sorts of things to it while I was awake, trying to position is such that it wouldn't leak. I thought if I could do that, then I could adjust the headgear to hold it in that position. Problem is, I never did find a way to keep it from leaking. So, I switched masks. And switched again. And then again. Until I finally found one that fits me with no more leaks. Hurray!! You just gotta be persistent!sleepdeprivedemt wrote:Anyway, if anyone has some tips on stopping leaks with a Quattro Mirage FFM let me know I've tried cinching it all the way down, I've tried leaving it loose and it seems that I never get a seal like I should.

Drooling's better'n drowning ! Seriously, many have reported it's temporary. Congrats on a full night -- great start!
