I have tried - truly I have tried. I wake up after 2-3hrs with this alien on my face, panic and struggle to rip it off. It takes 15min to calm down and realise it was only the mask. It is truly a terrifying event I go through every night.

I also wear a CPAP mask every night. I used different types of masks before I found the best one. Now I can use it every night without problems. It's still annoying to have to wear a mask every night, but you'll see the improvements of the CPAP therapy after a while. Just ask your respirologist to try another mask and don't give up!
