 NC Member Since: 06/28/11 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 9/9/11 2:46 am So I've been using it for 2 nights....I'm waking up in the middle of the night with my mouth wide open & totally dried out. I've never been a mouth breather - and didn't breath through my mouth during my 2nd sleep study using the CPAP....what's up with that - is it part of getting used to this thing? |

Fredericksburg, VA Member Since: 03/31/07 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 9/11/11 4:42 pm I found that it was easier to get used to it by lying down as if for a nap and using it in short spurts. The eventually I workede up to longer nights without taking it off in the middle of the night. |
