I cant imagine one week. One day and i was feeling like crap. Was a terrible night of no sleep. We lost power just before bedtime. Come back on, an hr or 2 before it was time to wake up.

I can't stand my cpap machine. Stupid mask and all the straps. I can only stand it for about 2 hours max then i wake up and rip the dam thing off. Longest I've ever made it is 5 hours and thats only cause i was drunk and took xanex.
Sounds like you need a different mask.
You can make a cable for battery operation pretty easily. Works for emergencies.
Exactly. Here's the thing, they told me if i didn't like the mask i could bring it back and get another. So i go back in to get a new one but they failed to tell me i can only get a diffefent type of the same mask. I mean wtf. Seriously.
Go to cpap.com they have everything.
What kind of mask did they give you? Nose/mouth mask? Those suck. They started me off on one and when i went back for my overnight stay, to get the cpap tuned in for my levels. The lady had me try a nose mask. Been using it ever since. Its the resperonics WISP.
How the hell do you sleep with that on anyways?
Exactly. Its been a month for me and i still can't stand it.
Invest in the nose pillows. You won't regret it.
You were prescribed a certain type of mask based upon your sleep behavior during the study. If you are a mouth breather you won't be able to use the pillows. I've been on cpap over 15 years and have tried them all, it's about you. I have a face mask that only covers my nose because I don't breathe through my mouth during sleep. Nasal pillows won't help this.
For about 6 months last year I was snoring like a freight train. the girl I was dating recorded me. I slept great but during the day I could literally fall asleep standing up.
Started doing cardio and I stopped snoring and wasn't drowsy all day.
not sure what this has to do with anything. I'm just bored.
What do you do if you have a stuffy nose or are congested?

If you get mask with nose pillows, be sure to get the one with reinforced pillows so they don't collapse when you roll over or pressed against the pillow. I usually don't use mine when stuffy/congested. Just seems to make me feel worst when I do.

Did you sweat a lot while sleeping?
