Here's and idea.... ...Go to the user control panel and fill in your equipment for starters. Once we know what machine and mask you are using we might be able to help you. Also...what pressure is your unit set at?

Wearing the mask while reading or watching TV helps many get used to the mask and the pressure.
If you happen to fall asleep . . Bam! You are covered.
