The person who helped me choose my first mask had OSA. You would have thought that would have been a benefit... it wasn't. Looking back now, I wasn't fitted properly and she didn't have any idea what she was doing.
It may not make any difference in every circumstance, but I believe it can help.

My Sleep Doctor had OSA for many years prior to my Sleep Study.

He suggested a mask based on what was used for the titration night of the Sleep Study.
He also told me that was what he was using.
I told the DME provider I wanted that specific mask.
It worked perfectly.

I am one of those lucky ones where everything worked for me from day one.
And that was 14 years ago.

Addition to my wish list: I love to sleep very close to DH before falling into lala land. As many of you know cannot be done. Now when I snuggle, he moves the comforter around the back of his neck like Count Dracula so as not to catch wind you might say.
WISH LIST: Air coming out the vent would not come out with such force as to blow sleeping partner off the mattress and be more conducive to cuddling.

@StuUnderPressure - You're one lucky person
