Re: New member-can't keep from ripping mask off at night!

Sounds like you have one of the F & P machines that is an apap (auto adjusting pressure) machine. Sensawake is a feature and not part of the model name and doesn't really tell us much. The newer F & P machines are call the Icon + series and there are different model names within that series. Look h...

Re: New member-can't keep from ripping mask off at night!

My sleep doc told me that I was ripping my mask off in the middle of the night from a lack of humidity. I thought she was crazy!

It's a Fisher and Paykel SensAwake with built in humidifier, and a ResMed F10 full face mask. I tend to sleep on my side a lot, with my face and mask off the pillow. Also, my F&P h...

I was starting to have sleep attacks, little "mini-sleeps" during the day, even while engaged in activiti...
