About 3-4 years ago I went for a sleep study as I snored a lot and was always tired. It has made a WORLD of difference. The machines and masks are much smaller than they used to be so it isn't that bad. It took me a lot to get used to as I was a mouth breather and had to learn to sleep w/ my mouth closed. Now I do that naturally. Also, try out the different masks they have. I have the nasal pillows as I don't like having a big mask over my nose and mouth. Lastly, when selecting a mask, see if they have one that diffuses the air that comes out of it. The nasal pillow one I have does not and I have to lie facing the wall in my room otherwise I am blowing air on my fiance's back which is not fun for him. That being said, it does take getting used to and I took it off many times in the middle of the night. I kept at it and now I don't feel good if I forget to put it on. You will be amazed at the improved quality of sleep you will get.

I just got fitted for a dental appliance. I can't sleep with the c pab. The noise was horrible & the mask claustrophobic. I hope it works for you.If not find something that does work. Good luck
