NOW-what to do about my insomnia???

I cannot sleep!! I have always had this issue, but I had hoped that the Apap machine would help. I put it on around 10pm when I go to bed, and then I wake up numerous times in the night. I end up taking off the mask around 2-3am and then I sleep until 5ish. I don't mind getting up at 5am, if I was g...

Re: NEWBIE here. air coming our of hose???

It is the vent. Thanks. I feel kind of silly now. I wore my mask last night until 3am. I went to bed around 10:30, got up to post this, and went straight back to bed. I am happy with this time. Now, when I say I wore my mask, I do not mean I slept. I was awake quite a bit last night. Hubby snores, a...

I can feel a LOT of air pouring out of my hose near my nasal pillows. I started on sunday and have yet to endure a whole night with this thing, I am beyond exasperated.

Re: I CANNOT GET USED TO MY MACHINE_HELP

Thank you! I will try the larger pillows and see how I do tonight. I slept with the machine last night for 4.3 hours, so I hope to do better tonight. Maybe in a month or so, I will be sleeping all night. I think I may need something to close my mouth. I woke up twice with it slightly open. Whatever.

Re: I CANNOT GET USED TO MY MACHINE_HELP

Oh Gosh, I don't know the answers to most of this. I have a Resmed S9 Autoset for Her with an H5i heated humidifier. I have the nasal pillows. Yes, I have the Ramp setting. I will try without tonight. I did not have anyone set up my machine, I will call the doc today and see if I can bring it by. I ...
