Had a hard time falling asleep with teh mask on my face and dithced it at around 1 am - I know it was night 1, but it was frustrating.
Anyone else out there have sleep apnea or use a machine?

It took me almost a year to get used to the cpap, but it was well worth it. I just had a hell of a time getting used to having something on my face while I tried to go to sleep. Eventually after much fiddling with different masks, tightness of the straps, settings etc etc I got used to it and have never looked back. I literally can not sleep without it now. I had to abort a camping trip this summer because there was no way I could sleep. Just for reference, my sleep apnea was so bad that I would stop breathing over 100 times per hour.
Stick with it long enough to get used to it and you will thank yourself.
