I don't see changing a setting as fixing the problem of your taking your mask off prematurely and sleeping the rest of the night without the machine. Is the mask leaking? Is it uncomfortable? Why do you think you need to remove it? Do you have trouble falling asleep? Take a long time? Why were you ...

When did you switch machines? You do realize that the Dreamstation that you're using has been recalled and deemed 'unsafe' right? Yes... still waiting on a goddamn replacement, it's been half a year.
