For the first week or so the machine scared the crap out of me. I mean, it was just such an unusual thing to do, to hook up to a machine like that. But with time it got easier and now I don't view it is different at all.

Don't get me wrong I love to sleep ( when I can ) but just knowing I have to put on the mask and hook up to a machine make me feel uncomfortable. Once I am in bed and set my ramp to 45 minutes, I will just lie there waiting and hoping to fall asleep. Sometimes I have to reset the ramp it takes that long.
Even though I am new I have already began to hate the cpap. Still wake up with headaches and tired.
I will stick it out for a few months and hopefully things will get better.
