It sounds like you are suffering from blowfish syndrome. Spend your spare time holding your tongue to the roof of your mouth, against your top teeth, then create a suction to hold it in place. This will help train your body to stop mouthbreathing and blowfish, you need to practice this any time you...

Full mask with alternate air port location ?

I am using a full mask with the air input port right in front of my mouth. This is blowing my lips wide open and drying the front part of my mouth out badly even with high humidity setting.

Re: How long to pay back sleep deficit?

I would like to post images of my SleepyHead data - which I just installed tonight, and used the awesome patch found on here to make work. Thank you so much for that!
