Report on my first night.

Went pretty well. I fell asleep easily, the machine was quiet and the mask comfortable. Could move between my back, my left side, and my right side with no problems.

Had a bit of a problem with the humidity. I had it set too high and I go moisture in my mask which would drip on my nose whenever I was on my side. Will reduce tonight.

All in all it was a good experience. I am a little more alert than usual today but not dancing in the streets like some sort of Viagara commercial

Excellent! I know folks are having a hard time locating the software for your machine.... does the LCD on the machine give you any efficacy numbers? Just wondering.....

Congratulations! I am so glad to hear that your first night went well.

I hope you figure out the humidity setting that works for you. I found it easier to start at lower humidity levels and work my way up, if I started at a high level I felt like I was breathing swamp gas - too humid and warm.
