New CPAP user. Waking up a lot

[altaire4]

To all the people who replied thank you heaps. Your comments and suggestions have helped a lot. I am getting used to the mask and do like it better than the pillows. I am waking feeling more refreshed than I have for a long time. Thanks again

How long does it take most people to get used to using the machine and sleep through the night?

Don't know, haven't gotten there yet. But it's ok. Sometimes I have to get up to go to the bathroom but often not. Used to be that was a several times a night thing. So that's better. Also, it's kind of fun, in a sick sort of way, to wake up feeling great, like you've had a week's worth of rest --- then look at the clock and realize it's only been two hours. But that's ok too.

So how long until you or I sleep through the night? Don't know. ...and that's ok too. Geesssh, I'm beginning to sound like that funky comedian from awhile back.

Yeah, that's the weird thing. I usually wake up every couple of hours, just like I did before PAP. The difference is I must actually be sleeping during those two hours, because I feel a lot better in the morning than I did without PAP.
