I couldn't get used to the water droplets in the mask. They woke me up every night, and I didn't have the humidifier on at all. I was ripping the mask off in the middle of the night every night because I just couldn't stand it. I got a new mask with the nasal pillows and it's a dream! I can sleep in any position (I'm a side sleeper too) and it stays put and I sleep so well. No more water droplets either! I had the air leaking out with the old mask, too, but that doesn't happen with this one. Good luck! Mary Ellen

Ok I have slept with my CPAP machine for 2 nights now. I fall asleep right away as usual and the noise is not bothering me at all. I am still waking up several times during the night as I always have. I think I am sleeping with my mouth shut. I don't feel any different when I wake up then I ever do. Am I doing something wrong or is just a matter of time for my body to accept the machine? I am so looking forward to a good nights sleep. Any help would be greatly apprceciated. Thanks, Alan

I wonder why your hubby feels threatened by the machine? He is insecure on some level and might be afraid of something coming between you and he on one level or another. By keeping you tired - maybe he is keeping you to himself - you'll be too tired to be attractive to someone else. Assure him of your love and demonstrate your undying love by improving your health. Wear the cpap - practice makes perfect! I've found that lifting the mask and letting it settle on my face again is a good way to adjust it. I also like the "ramp" feature. If yours has one and you've not been trying it, I would recommend that. Good luck with the relationship. But, most of all, I wish you good health! Keep on breathing!

I wash my humidifier and mask every a.m. I disinfect it every 3 weeks. Why am I getting som many sinus infections? Now I have bronchitis.....is it the machine or just picking up these bugs? Sue
