I am noticing that as much as the cpap help me breath I feel like I have a harder time staying asleep and falling asleep I changed my pressure setting to 4. Which is very low for the night to see what would happen and here is the results. Only thing I can think of doing is switching mask types which I am doing. Admittedly when my pressure is at 8 one of the first things i want to do is open my mouth, but that would cause a leak. I am thinking of switching mask to something more conferrable for a night and see how that goes, even if it involves the risk of a leak. Any tips would be greatly apprenticed I am sure I sound like someone who is repeating themselves but I need help because I can’t sleep and therefor I am struggling with horrible issues that make functioning as a human being next to impossible. Current bed setup is 1 pillow could that be contributing to my missury, and if so what should I do. You can see my oscar data from last night below dm me if you want a link to the sleephq data.

We need to see just these five essential graphs:- Events, Flow Rate, Pressure, Leak Rate and Flow Limitations.
We need to see also both the statistics and settings section in the left hand window. To do this, deactivate the calendar. If the settings are still partly obscured, go to Preferences/Appearance,application font, and try reducing the default value of 10 to 8 which should fix it.

It seems that the main issue is getting used to wearing a mask. Is your full face mask actually leaking, or you are wearing the mask and opening your mouth within the mask, and this is causing you some discomfort?
The mask primer is interesting reading, with some good tips in getting used to masks.
What was the result of your sleep study AHI total, and the breakdown by position, supine, side and frontal?
What were the initial prescribed pressures given by your doctor?
