I'm a newbie, only a month into my machine, I use swift fx, a chinstrap and a hose hanger. I was making the fx to tight at first, more comfortable and better seal when the gear was loose. The hose hanger keeps it out or the way and not dragging on the bed. I sleep on my side with a firm pillow. I was not sleeping much at first, things are better now, try and make things comfortable, It will improve, just takes time to work out the kinks.
Any landing you walk away from is a good one; if you don't break your airplane it's excellent.
