Waking up after 4 hours every single night on APAP (feeling like absolute garbage)

Don’t give up on the collar. The signs are still there. It may have been a bad fit or something else but I’m sticking with chin tucking.

I've only experienced it once over the month I've had the machine.

Edit: This was in response to "Do you ever wake up with air rushing out of your mouth?"

I definitely hear you, because I still saw the cluster of events too. The problem is that I don't even know how to assess fit. I was trying to make sure that the collar prevented chin tuck, and I felt like it did. I was even fairly comfortable, but I woke up feeling terrible and the chart reflected poor sleep.

Update: So I feel the best I ever have since starting therapy. I still got about the same amount of sleep, but I feel better, so it's a good start. 

After continuous mouth leaks even with double mouth taping (w/ the Airfit N20; I also have a beard), I switched to the F&P Vitera full face mask, and after an unsuccessful day 1 (I didn't know that you had to wear the top straps loose and wear the mask low on the face), I have felt significant improvement. In my case, leaks are my number 1 enemy. If I can eliminate leaks, I can sleep the whole night with much better quality of sleep. 

I just have to figure out how to minimize mask leaks now. What do you guys think I should do? 

I'm thinking of getting the AirTouch F20, because I heard that it's great for people with beards. 

Here's the data. I started actually sleeping from after 12 AM. I woke up between 3:40 and 4:45ish or so.

I've ordered a padacheek mask liner, so that should hopefully help.
