It could be that your prescribed pressure is not adequate. Some machines are capable of recording data as you sleep. If that's the kind you have, there could be answers in your data. You shouldn't feel like you are smothering. It would help others help you if you could sign in and list your equipment and tell us your settings.
KevinAC,
Your machine is fully data capable, have you tried pulling data from it? If so what are you getting for AHI and Leak and Large Leak?

First two nights I lay awake, breathing comfortably for 30-45 minutes. Took it off and fell asleep. Tonight is night #3 in a hotel room. Maybe I fall asleep with it tonight.
Woke up this morning with the mask on - a first for me. Have the humidifier up to "4" now and the what level dropped from 1/2 to 1/4 overnight over 5.5 hours of "on" time. Now all I need to do it get to sleep earlier.

I only have SleepyHead software at this point. When I start wearing the mask regularly I'll have enough data to report.
