Everyone I know who uses a CPAP love them except me. I tried one for 9 months with 96% usage, and still could not make it all night with the mask still on.

Good luck. I really hope it works for you.

My experience exactly.

I am a "side" and sometimes "stomach" sleeper, so it took some getting used to sleeping on my back most of the time.

However, I got past that and used the CPAP every night for nearly a year.

Then, for reasons unknown, something started going haywire with the mask, causing air to burst out of my mouth, constantly waking me up with a jolt.

So, I tried different styles of masks, but I had the same result.

I finally came to the sad realization that the machine was doing the opposite of what was intended, instead giving me sleepless nights.

It's in the closet now.

One other thing: keeping the mask and air hose clean is a real hassle.
