First couple nights are rough Tom. I thought to myself "I will NEVER get used to this." A week later, it became part of my routine. I used a "nose only" mask the first night...opened my mouth and damn near suffocated. The next day I had a "full face" mask and haven't had an issue since (2 1/2 years later). Stick with it brother!!

I have the nose only mask....kept waking up snoring because my mouth would open. This was apparently when I was swallowing all the air, Pete.

I am going to inquire about the "full face" mask today, Mac.

Thanks for the support guys.
