Plus, there are different pressures it can be set at. I've been able to go down on the pressure. That wouldn't happen if it was breathing for me or training me not to breathe.

the APAP is one of the greatest inventions. i went from getting really shitty sleep and feeling like ass at work after 8 hours of sleep to feeling refreshed after 6 hours of sleep.
youll probably get an A-pap. (automatically adjusts to the pressure you need, without doing too much pressure) , it takes some experimenting to find what setting you like and also takes some fiddling with masks. if you dont like your mask, try another style or another brand of masks. theyre all compatible with the hoses and machines. dont give up on it, you will feel so much better and get such better sleep... once you dial in the settings and mask, youre golden. |

I talked about this with my dad when I went to visit over my lunch hour. He said the biggest difference for him was that he is able to do more on less sleep. He averages about 7 hours per night. So, for him, it was just having more energy throughout the day.

Took me about a month or so to get fully comfortable with my machine/mask. I use the nasal pillow mask though so it's far less bulky and restrictive than the full Bane mask.
Best advice is to be in a relaxed state before putting on the mask. It'll be easier for the machine to sync with your breathing pattern that way. Also, clean your equipment regularly, especially the water chamber. |

This is my exact rig. My supplier keeps trying to give me the nasal pillows that just rest under your nostrils instead of the ones that actually plug into them like this picture. It's no, no bueno.

I have the single-band nasal pillow that has the nostril plugs. It's so comfortable and effective that when I wake up it doesn't even seem like I have the mask on.

![]() This is what I use.. I usually go to sleep with my mouth open then later I’ll switch to nose breathing… I know that sounds weird but that’s what I do.. This mask covers both bases.. I also wear a skull cap to help with the strap lines… |
