To Wake or Not To Wake?

Last night, I woke up for a bathroom run and noticed my husband sleeping on his back. I could hear his mask leaking, and I lay there for a while debating as to whether I should wake him. Finally, I gently woke him, he adjusted the mask and all was then quiet.

Would it have been better to let him sleep? This morning's data download showed good numbers for him, except for 12 "large leak" minutes.

You did the right thing.

Ditto.

I somehow took my mask off on Sunday night at some point and woke up with it next to me on the bed. DH mentioned that I'd been snoring. I told him Monday morning that the next time I do this or if he hears a "wind tunnel" to please wake me up.

My husband has been given the same request. He knows my treatment is important, but didn't always know whether or not I removed the mask purposefully. NOT!

Idea: Depending on how soundly your husband sleeps, you could discuss with him the idea of your adjusting the mask. You would have to practice this together sometime, so you're both used to it, and you know 'what works'. Of course, if he's a light sleeper, that's not necessary, and you'd probably startle him, even though he knows your intentions.

You have good instincts - follow them.
