Peter, don't expect miracles in a night, it takes a few days/weeks to get used to the machine and it also takes a few weeks before you notice the difference, but once that happens you wish you had done it years ago.

I certainly don't expect overnight miracles. I am eager, though, to settle into a routine.

The first night was cumbersome. Woke up almost every hour. I think mostly due to having the headgear/mask on. The machine was very quiet. I'm not sure the humidifier was working or set properly. Virtually no water was used and I was very dry this morning.

Ferdinand is right -- it will take getting used to. You have to learn to cope with the hose and mask without waking up. The good news is that you can and will get used to it. You should also sleep better right away, and your sleep will continue to get better as you get used to your machine, hose, and mask!

BTW, what brand machine do you have and which mask did you decide on?
