Night 3.... getting better

I was able to fall right asleep with the mask on last night. I remember waking once to go to the bathroom... not my normal 2 or 3 times.

Re: First Night with machine

Dave,
That was like me during my sleep study. I had pillows and would accidentally open my mouth and the rush of air would half choke me.

Re: First Night with machine

Thanks everyone for the advice and comments. I will fill out my profile tonight. I would have done it here, from work.. but I don't know what in the world I have. It looks pretty though and lights up! And no.. that's not my wife in the picture. I'd have to run and buy a pack of razors if she was tha...

I fell asleep right away but found myself up a couple hours later feeling very uncomfortable. Is this just something you get used to? I HATE sleeping with anything warm on my face.. pillo...
