Until you can actually get some real sleep using the mask and machine the reports are pretty much useless. All we are seeing is awake breathing stuff. Now figuring out why you can't sleep with it or what to do about it....different story. Sometimes the brain is just to busy thinking about all this ...

If you are still adjusting your mask fit, it is best done while lying down. The face tends to change shape a bit while prone.

I never really thought of that , I'm normally sitting upright when I adjust my mask .

I'd raise your minimum pressure to 5, (probably higher) but that'd be a good start.

Thanks for that , I'm going to give it a try .

Thanks to every one for your continuing support. Well last night I decided to tighten my mask up a bit more , its still now fairly comfortable and not a problem . As I have not yet managed to fall asleep while using the machine , I tried another setting change and adjusted to following options.. Set...

Don't worry so much about the format or even the settings at this point. In fact, minimize your worries as best you can because your primary job right now is to get comfortable with the mask and machine and actually get some sleep. If you don't sleep none of this matters. Gotta get the sleep first....

Thanks for that , some how I missed that part

Well last night ( The 9th of October ) I went to bed at around 10pm . I had my machine adjusted to the suggested settings made by palerider. Over all the mask generally felt comfortable and the nose pressure I have to use to breath out feels a bit less restrictive than before I changed the machines ...
