Hello Walt @1rocky01, Welcome to Connect. I'm also a side sleeper and go back and forth between the sides when I sleep. I was fortunate to do my overnight sleep study at Mayo Clinic Rochester where they had a more acceptable setup with a longer cable harness from all of the probes hooked up on the chest and back allowed me to move to my normal "comfortable" sleeping positions. I had 55+ events/hour and my doctor diagnosed me with obstructive sleep apnea. I've been using my CPAP for almost 8 years and have had nights where I've had to sleep on my back and my AHI numbers are always a lot higher on those nights. Mostly I'm under 4 with the CPAP treatment which was the goal given to me by my sleep medicine doctor. My sleep test actually woke me up several times to try different masks and the full face mask was deemed best for my "mouth breathing". I also tried several different nasal masks along with a head strap to keep my mouth closed but didn't have any success.

What type of CPAP full face mask do you use now?

Happy to hear that you found a care team that is helpful.
