Hi,

I am a new cpap user (resmed airsense 11), since nearly 2 months. I have moderate sleep apnea which is a lot worse on the back than on the side. My current nose mask (Fisher and Paykel eson 2) is leaking a lot, so me as well as my partner are sleeping with earplugs since a good week, my sleep was getting really bad and I think the noise from the leaks caused micro-awakenings. I am a side/belly sleeper.
I would like to have your experience with other types of masks and to have your reading of my last nights stats. What do you think of special cpap pillows?

I used a mandibular advancement device for more than 3 years, with very little follow up from a technical point of view, and felt getting more and more tired again. Last sleep test was showing AHI of over 40 when lying on my back. I was not aware of being tired before my first sleep test which I took 4 years ago. I am a 50 yo non-smoker, female, normal BMI, the sleep test was done because I had night-time shifts as a midwife.

Thanks a lot for helping me discovering how to read and interpret my own data!
