LOL. I guess it's funny at times. I think it is the muscles in my face relaxing at night so that the mask doesn't fit. That makes sense. I'll tighten it up a little. I'm off now to try a little scuba diving at the edge of the pool with it.

Not a night goes by that I don't start out good, determined to make a go of it, the mask fitting well without leaks; and then two or three hours later it all falls apart: either my face or the mask changes and leaks pop up everywhere and I end in a disaster. I was making so much noise my wife moved ...

I'm having much the same experience, and the question and responses are very helpful.

If one awakens four or five times in order to adjust the mask, is one able to get a good nights sleep, or does rem sleep come in small doses between discomfiture and slumber?

I tried the chin strap, but I forced my mouth open in spite of it. I tried the ff mask, but it leaked all the time when I rolled to a new position. I just bought some Biotine for dry mouth. Anyone have experience with it.

I am falling asleep (with great difficulty I must say) and then shortly thereafter I awaken with air coming out of my mouth. I'm not a mouth breather generally, so I think that maybe the pressure is not high enough to keep me breathing and the air has no where to escape except through my mouth. Tell...

I have a full mask, but I couldn't get a good seal, and you know what it does when the seal is broken. It worked great when I held it to my face, but I couldn't adjust it so the air didn't blow up into my eyes. I didn't mind the full mask except for the seal issue. I really want to make this work, a...

I use a pillows mask and I'm fine until I go to sleep, which is very difficult now, and I start to open my mouth a little and the whole thing gets out of control and I awake and take off the mask. The next time I wake up for whatever reason, like a trip to the toilet, I put the mask back on and turn...

I turned the humidifier down to 2 and I'm not sneezing this morning though my nose feels like it's getting ready. Thanks again for the tips.

I have the humidity turned up to 5. I'll experiment with it. I have never had a problem of any kind with allergies, so I think it's the machine. Thanks for the response.

I'm a newbie and wrestling with my CPAP machine in the usual ways and keep thinking I can't make it up the hill, so finding this site has been very helpful. I'm using the pillows mask and find that during the day I have been sneezing constantly. There is an obvious cause and effect relationship betw...
