Post nasal pillows and waking up when pressure goes up 
Hi, I am fairly new.  I have REM star machine and had mirage breeze mask X3 days really liked it but cause very bad sore on bridge of my nose.  Switched to a nasal pillow system been on it 3 nights and waking up more then the mask.  My pressure is on auto pap 5-15 and stays alot at 5 but when it goes up sometimes I wake up.  Will I adjust to this?

I have been at mine about 2 weeks and I still do not sleep through the night. I use a nasal mask and have ordered a breeze nasal mask. I hear it is better for sleeping on your side and stomach. What I have found that has helped me is taking a hour nap in the middle of the day with your CPAP. I found it is easier to get use to the CPAP in short chunks. I really enjoy the air and find myself looking forward to it, I just have to get use to the mask all night.

Post Hour nap 
Interesting idea.  I used to nap every day before CPAP (just 5 nights, so far).  I've been trying not to nap since I started CPAP.  But, today, I was so sleepy I napped for a little less than an hour using my CPAP.  Went to sleep quickly.  Seems easier in the afternoon, doesn't it?  Spooky at night...for some reason.

Good luck.
