if you'd READ the date, you'll see he hasn't been here since 2010.SDBud wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 4:16 pmI'd strongly suggest wearing the mask AND strap during the day when you're not sleeping, just to get used to the feel of it.WiltingRose wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2010 6:06 pmI've had very little trouble adjusting to the mask or the pressure (0.08 I think). My AHI is 1.4 with the machine. I started wearing a chin strap a few nights ago because I was mouth breathing and losing the effects of the CPAP. When I was mouth breathing I wasn't getting the nightmares, or at least not as bad. Right now it's a trade off. I sleep longer with the machine on, but sleep more peacefully with out it. The nightmares are not about suffocating.
It IS unusual, and could easily cause a reaction in your brain until it becomes more commonplace for you.
