After a couple of months using a CPAP, I'm still slowly adjusting to this object on my face. I had to switch from the full-face mask (I'm a mouth breather) with nasal pillow to a full-face mask that covers the nose because the nasal pillow kept shifting every time I moved, even when I had it sufficiently snugged up. The new mask, a ResMed F20, works better.

And because I move around a lot during my sleep, this was causing issues with the CPAP moving as well. I did some research and bought a 15 lb weighted blanket, which has helped reduce my nighttime movements and improve sleep. I have a follow-up appointment with the sleep doctor next week, so we'll see what he thinks about my progess.

@tim1028 hi Tim sounds like you are making progress. Unfortunately, I am not. The doctor gave me a prescription for a med that is supposed to help me stay awake during the day, (I have hypersomnia) and unfortunately it is not working. In fact I think it’s contributing to my problem. So I am going to stop taking it.
I hope your situation continues to improve!
