no longer sure if still apnea-affected or just tired

Ok, I'm going to recommend that if you watch the video you consider it what NOT to do.

You want to lie there cute all propped up on those big pillows like a total princess? Sure, just make sure you don't fall asleep that way! You'll have massive positional apnea, events slamming in one after another!

And if you sleep on your back with a nice thin pillow that will allow you to actually breathe, then you've got to turn the hose on the top of your head to the side or the elbow is hard enough that the mattress will push the mask off your face.

And it almost never helps to tighten the straps when you've got leaks. The mask needs to "float" on your face to keep sealed. Usually what's needed is to shift it a bit one direction or another. The way to shift is to pull the mask straight out and then lower it slowly so it goes straight towards your face.

I think the video is for demo and visual purposes.  The video has nothing to do with the literal choice of pillow.

Yep we both agree 

I put on the mask
I find I need to turn the machine on.
Then pull the entire thing out like in the video.

Wearing PAP masks aren't hard really. Even a dog can get it right.

Hey we need to be fair to the cat people...
