[CPAP] My first night with cpap
#1
Gross 
My first night with cpap
On my first night with a CPAP, unfortunately, I had trouble adjusting. My movements caused leaks in the mask, and I woke up to drink water and go to the bathroom, after which I found it difficult to fall back asleep. The result is as shown in the attachment. I think I need to be more careful with the mask adjustments tonight. Normally, I sleep on my side, but the pillow seems to cause air leaks. I believe I'll need to make the pillow smaller and lower. (Some of the leak data might be due to me taking off the mask and leaving the device running when I woke up.) I would greatly appreciate your advice and suggestions.
