Last night I made it the entire night with the mask. I think I finally got a little quality sleep.

Re: Can't stay asleep
Thank you pugsy & hades not only for the help but also for writing so much! I'll give myself more time to adjust. After reading some of your posts I thought that I should narrow the pressures too. I know how to change it but I'll let my doc know when I do. My Dr., I think is new at this. I'm 38 & he...

Re: Can't stay asleep
Wow thanks for the help about the software. You're a treasure trove of info! Let me get this software & some screen shots going. I have noticed that with this new machine, I can tolerate the pressure & mask all night. I do tend to sleep for an hour after taking off the mask. It's like I wake up, rea...

It fits fine, feels fine, breathing is fine & I can fall asleep as if i wasn't wearing it. Then within two hours I wake up, up t...

Re: Effects of quitting smoking on CPAP therapy
Hey I don't believe in any of the quit smoking gimmicks. I believe in quitting cold turkey. I made a Sunday the last day I was gonna smoke. When I woke up that Monday, I just didn't smoke anymore. It's been almost a year. It's not easy but it's the fastest way. The biggest thing is, is that you have...
