New user advice

I have been using a ResMed machine (automatically adjusts to apneas) for a month now with a nasal mask.
Sleep is poor yet the download shows I am having apneas (4-5 per hr) and air pressure is adjusting to same.
Changing to full mask this weekend to see if a difference.
Sometimes I stop using it as exhausted and resort to my mouthguard (Ive used a mouthguard for a year now).
how long has it taken people to adjust to the machine and sleep to improve?
Exhaustion is unreal not helped by long work commute and only able to work from home one day per week
thank you

4-5 an hour would make me feel like crap.

Auto machines still have to be tuned.

Please checkout the newbie post at the top, download the software, and post a typical night.

It sounds like you are not well treated yet, so while it is an improvement, you won't feel great yet. We can help you improve your therapy.
