Re: Newbie from Denver. How long to get used to a cpap machine?
Update: Yesterday I was fitted for a swift fx nasal pillow. Last night I had really good results and the lowest event rate/hour I've ever had. I slept from 11pm to 5 am without waking up once (very rare for me). Prior to this I tried a full face mask and nasal mask. I think the pillows seem to be th...

Re: Newbie from Denver. How long to get used to a cpap machine?
Well I just finished my 5th night with the cpap I could never get used to in the past. Last night was over 9 hours. My numbers are looking very good. Last night I was going to try a face mask (I have 3) vs the nasal mask just to see how I would do. But the part that comes out won't fit my hose. I kn...

Re: Newbie from Denver. How long to get used to a cpap machine?
Night two of my new outlook on cpap. Slept with it on for over 8 hours. Turned it off and restarted twice for bathroom breaks. Still not sure what is the best way to handle that. I wish I had realized 2 years ago that I don't need to sleep with my mouth open. Total user error. I was thinking I had t...

Re: Newbie from Denver. How long to get used to a cpap machine?
Thank you for your patience. We are getting there and I greatly appreciate your help. I still can't believe I kept the mask on all night and it wasn't nearly as bad as my past nights.

Re: Newbie from Denver. How long to get used to a cpap machine?
ok I have it cleaned up. But somehow my event flags are non existent. User error I'm sure. Also you can see I used it for 5 hrs 49 min turned it off (bathroom break) turned on and used for 3 hrs 55 min. Not sure how to handle bathroom breaks.

Re: Newbie from Denver. How long to get used to a cpap machine?
Last night I used my cpap for the first time in a very long time. I had it on almost 10 hours. I thought I had set max pressure to 15 but I see it was 10. I've now adjusted that. Here are two reports from sleepyhead and I welcome any feedback. Also I created a imgur account but everytime I try to up...

Re: Newbie from Denver. How long to get used to a cpap machine?
Two other questions:
1. Is it ok if I have a goatee?
2. If I normally snore through my mouth will a nasal mask even help?
Thanks

Re: Newbie from Denver. How long to get used to a cpap machine?
Ok I will check out other masks and cpap.com. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll also increase max pressure before going to bed tonight. I never travel with my cpap because I've never been successful wearing it and it's way too big. I've lived on airplanes most of my career and even when I go to overse...

Re: Newbie from Denver. How long to get used to a cpap machine?
Hi and thanks for the quick responses. Pugsy to answer your questions: I never tried any other nasal mask. I chose the Pico because at the time it had a decent rating on amazon so I just ordered it. No other logic than that. I can breath through my nose fine. No nasal congestion. But when I sleep I ...

Newbie from Denver. How long to get used to a cpap machine?
Hi, I was diagnosed in 2015 with sleep apnea. I got a resmed airsense 10 autoset. I tried a full face mask for 3 nights and gave up. A year or so later I tried a phillips nasal mask for a week and gave up. I'm tired of giving up and really want this thing under control for better sleep and better he...
