What do you guys do if you toss and turn in your sleep. I got right into rem sleep and take the mask off? What can I do?

You can give us something, anything to go on. How about which model of what machine brand you have, at what settings, and how you feel otherwise? What mask? Take any meds? Alcohol close to bedtime? How long do you sleep?

What were you diagosed at AHI-wise?

Have you downloaded Oscar to post results here so we can also see what's going on overnight?

Ditto the above answer and I have a question: how do you know you got into REM sleep?

For what it’s worth, after 3 yrs I still take my mask off sometimes. There was never any pattern, I’d usually be surprised when I woke up with it off. Now it seems to be just if I’m having trouble staying asleep and I get frustrated tossing & turning. Consciously I take the mask off because it’s annoying me.

Some people in that situation tape the straps to your face. When you pull it off you will wake up and put it back on.
